Picdar hosts accredited Media Pictures Website for G8 Summit at Gleneagles.

Picdar is hosting the accredited Media Pictures Website for this week's G8 Summit in Gleneagles. The world's press is invited to download images for free media use from www.g8pix.com from the start of the Summit on Wednesday 6th July.

The pictures, taken by News Team International and G8 official photographers, will be available on the website within minutes of being taken. The site will remain live until December 2005.

Following the huge interest in the G8 Summit generated by Live 8 performances around the world, this event will be watched closely by a much wider audience than is usual for a political conference of this sort.

Said Lesley Steinitz, CEO, Picdar, "Picdar is delighted to be again hosting the Media Pictures Website for this UK G8 Summit."

Nigel Iskander, MD, News Team International reflected "A major news event such as the G8 obviously attracts immense interest from the world s press. With an urgent demand for quality images and secure distribution, Picdar s web based software is ideal to meet the exacting needs of the FCO."

Pictures: Pictures from the summit are available from the website www.g8pix.com and are free for editorial use.
