School Grants for Healthy Kids
Photo Guidelines
Taking & Selecting Photos
Here are some tips for taking compelling photos of your projects in action:
• Whenever possible, take candid (not posed) shots of students, school staff and volunteers
participating in your grant-funded activities.
• Try to take at least one photo of the person who is championing your project.
• Take photos from different angles and distances, and of both individuals and groups.
• Please choose 5-6 of your best photos to submit to Action for Healthy Kids, representing
different facets of your project and a variety of participants.
• All submitted photos must have photo releases through schools. These photos may be used in
publications, although no student identifiers will be used. If you need a photo release form,
please click here for the AFHK Photo Release Form.
Submitting Photos
Please follow these guidelines when submitting photos for your Midterm and Final reports:
1. Log in to Action for Healthy Kids’ Flickr account.
a. Press the “Ctrl” key and click on the following link, or copy and paste it into your browser window:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/flagler-bunnell/
b. When the page appears, click “Sign in” in the upper right-hand corner.
c. Flickr is accessed through a
Yahoo! account. When
prompted, enter in AFHK’s
Yahoo! account info, then click
“Sign In” (Note: no spaces,
password letters are all
capital):
Yahoo! ID: stateteams
Password: AFHK600720
(If you are already signed in
with another Yahoo! account,
click “Sign in as a different
user,” then enter in the
account info above.)
2. Upload your photos.
a. Click “Upload” at the top of the page.
Then select “Choose photos and videos.” Navigate to where the photos are stored on your computer,
select them, and click “Open.” Or drag & drop them into the page. It may take a few minutes for the
photos to appear.
b. Make sure all the photos are highlighted in pink. If they are not, click “All” to select all the photos.
c. Now, in the left-hand column, click “Replace titles.”
Please use the following convention when titling your photos (they will all have the same title):
SGHK: School name, City, State abbreviation
Example:
SGHK: Chopin Elementary, Chicago, IL
Feel free to click on “Add a description” if you would like to provide a short description of whatever the
photos depict. (This is not required.) A sample description could be “Family Fitness Night” or “Rescue
Recess”.
d. Next, under the “Tags” heading there is an open comment box. Tagging your photos will help us
locate them and associate them with your school. Please type the following tags into the Tags comment
field using spaces between words. (Note: no spaces in school name):
SGHK SchoolName StateAbbreviation
Example: SGHK Chopin Elementary IL
Hit “Enter” to add the tags. They will appear like this.
e. Finally, click “Add to albums” and then select “Walmart School Grants for Healthy Kids” or “Kellogg’s
School Grants for Healthy Kids”. Then click “Done.”
(You don’t need to worry about “Add People,” “Add to groups” or “Owner settings.”)
f. In the upper right-hand corner of the screen, click “Upload Photos,” then “Upload”.
g. Click on to the circle in the top right-hand corner, a menu will appear. Please click “Sign Out”.
You’re done!
