How do I protect contributors' rights?

State exactly which usage rights you request, keep scope narrow, and store the signed acknowledgment with each submission. Contributors retain everything not explicitly granted.

What upload sizes work for media submissions?

Set realistic caps per channel, such as 10 MB per image batch or larger allowances for video via link. Accept portfolio URLs when files exceed practical limits.

Can I run themed submission rounds?

Duplicate the form per round with updated briefs and closing dates, keeping archives separated per campaign while your review process stays identical.

About Content Forms

A content submission form collects creative work against a defined brief: articles, photography, video pitches, design concepts, or user-generated campaigns. Clear structure at intake prevents format mismatches and missing metadata downstream. SharaForms handles large file uploads, license acknowledgments, and contributor details in one organized pipeline.

What to include in a content submission form
