New community program
Submit local photos & videos. Earn fuel rewards. Share great shots from around Chula Vista and turn your local knowledge into free gas.
High fuel prices?
There is no monthly reward cap. If you submit 150 strong local photos and we use 110, you earn $110.
Drive electric?
Choose EV charging credit in your account. You still earn $1 for every photo we use and remain in the monthly drawing.
$1 PER PHOTO
…that we actually use.
Submit 150 great local photos. If we use 110 of them, you earn $110 toward gas or EV charging. There is no monthly earnings limit. Your balance, approvals and payment history live in your contributor dashboard.
$1 per photo we use — not per photo submitted. Submitting alone does not earn a reward.
FULL TANK
Won every single month.
Earning photo credits does not replace your drawing entry. Every qualifying contributor is entered in our monthly giveaway. One winner is chosen at random across the Local City Network and receives a full tank of gas — up to 15 gallons.
Won before? You can win again — winning never removes you from future drawings.
Next gas giveaway
Entries are earned automatically when your submissions are accepted into the program.

KEEP IT LOCAL!
We ONLY accept photos and videos taken in your local city/area. Do not upload vacation pictures or content from another city.
Your photo must visibly show its local setting. A photo of an apple on a table, for example, does not qualify if we cannot tell where it was taken. Show the business, landmark, street, event, neighborhood or other recognizable details that connect it to your city.

Where your photos may appear
We may select your photos for Local City websites, social media posts, advertising, marketing and other promotional uses we decide are appropriate.
Keep up to 200 photos active
We review every photo. If we mark one Not Selected or Rejected, it is permanently cleared from our system after 3 days and makes room for another upload. Keep your own copies of everything you submit.
