How to submit work to Photoblogs Magazine

• Queries will only be accepted during the current window of submission. Any unsolicited work will be respectfully returned.
• The most current call for submission window is May 15 through June 10.

Please follow these directions carefully (we don't have the time or resources to ask you to revise your query):

• We require that you send a query, NOT a full submission:

• If you would like to submit work for publication in the next issue please send two (and only two) sample photographs (jpg format no larger than 800X600 200kb) representative of the theme you are proposing, along with a 100 word motivation for your subject or theme of choice.
Again, that is:
• two photos representative of your theme (jpg file no larger than 800X600 and up to 200KB) and,
• a 100-word query letter describing your theme in detail.

• The Editorial Board will choose five projects for publication (similar is scope to the articles found in the first issue; please look through the magazine and see if your work would fit well with what you see there).

• The Board will also choose one project that is of a more technical nature, having to do with photographic technique rather than expository material.   Please indicate that you are submitting for this particular category.
The selections will be based on originality, photographic quality, literary quality, and perceived interest in the topic for our audience.
If your query is selected for publication, you will be asked to submit eight photographs and a 1200-word article to accompany them, as well as a 100-word bio and a self-portrait.   Specific details will be given upon acceptance.   These materials will be due no later than April 1, 2005.   Before submitting a query, please evaluate if you are prepared to fulfill these requirements within the time frame.   There will be many future issues of this magazine, and if you are not ready, please wait until you are.
The only requirements to submit a query is that you are a subscriber to Photoblogs Magazine, and that you have a link button displayed on your photoblog.
We have received hundreds of emails expressing interest in being published in our magazine, so please be understanding of our need to be selective.   Our response will be one of three:
1. We would like to accept your work for publication in the May edition,
2. We would like to accept your work for a future publication (to be specified),
3. We don't feel this particular material is appropriate for our magazine at this time.
Feel free to amend this query, or submit a new query for future publications.

• Please submit all queries to:
submit@photoblogsmagazine.org
