San Bernardino County is asking residents and visitors to submit photos and short videos for a new column called SBC Through Your Eyes, the county said Nov. 12, 2026.

The county said selected submissions will be featured in its weekly County Update newsletter, on the county website and on its social media pages; contributors will receive credit for their work.

The county provided categories it will accept: Destinations, Wildlife, Flowers, Cityscapes, Landscapes, Nature, Architecture and Miscellaneous.

The county also set technical and content rules. Photos must be taken within San Bernardino County; must be owned by the submitter; must be JPG files under 5 MB with a minimum resolution of 300 dpi; and may not contain people. The county asked that photos not be heavily edited or created by AI.

Video submissions must be owned by the submitter and recorded within San Bernardino County; must be short form under 90 seconds; must be MP4 files shot in vertical format; may not contain people; should not include music or graphics; may include brief narration; and must include text overlays for accessibility. The county said not to submit AI-generated videos.

If the county selects a submission, the submitter will be notified by email, the county said. To submit, the county directs contributors to fill out a Google Form that the announcement links to.

This is the county’s announcement and the county supplied the submission categories and technical guidelines; the Journal is reporting those rules so readers can decide whether to participate.
