Send us your photos or videos by email to cbcnb@cbc.ca and put the words Your Lens in the subject line.

Please tell us your name and where the photo or video was taken — we won’t be able to use the submission otherwise. Keep in mind this feature is all about New Brunswick, so photos have to be of subjects within this province. 

Please provide a description that tells us what’s happening in your submission and feel free to add any other information that would help us tell the audience about your photo or video.

We don’t publish black-and-white photos or heavily edited photos, such as anything over-saturated or with filters. Watermarks will be cropped out.

We’ll share the photos and videos here and we might use them on our other platforms, such as our suppertime TV newscast. We’ll be sure to give you credit.
