Images, Audio, and Video You can add as many images, audio, and video that you want to your submission. However, be

mindful of how many things an individual would like to see. You do not want to overwhelm your audience. Some things you might consider:

Archival images/footage (verify copyright information) Videos should be kept short but also still be informative. Aim between one to three minutes. You are

not creating a documentary. You could show a place over time with an image by using a gif.

ToursWalking Tour versus a Driving TourWalking tours are generally a short distance tour that does not require the use of an automobile or other vehicle. Driving tours are much longer and are based on roads and the locations. It is helpful for your audience to label your tours as “walking tours” or “driving tours” depending on the length.
