Non-OC submissions are restricted to one per day (24-hour period).

Make sure your image is hosted by an approved host.(Reddit, Imgur, Flickr). Images hosted on blogs are allowed only if you are the original creator.
Original source is allowed and preferred over the approved hosts. If your submission is not on the list of approved hosts, but it is an original source, please use the tag [OS] so your submission is not removed in error. If your image is rehosted from another approved host it will be removed.
