SUBMITTAL GUIDELINES

Send up to 20 original photographs (8x10 or smaller) or 300 PPI TIFF files on a CD. All processes and techniques are welcome. (Color work will be reproduced in black & white.) No entry form is required, but please provide any information pertinent to your submittal, including name, address, email, titles of images submitted, and website (if applicable).

Specifications for digital or scanned images: Uncompressed 300 PPI TIFF files, sized to approx. 8” in the longest direction, saved to a CD that is Windows/PC compatible. Please include your name and the title of the image in each file name (for example: First_Last_Title.tif). A separate folder of low-resolution jpegs and/or a printout of thumbnails is appreciated. E-mailed files are not accepted.

(Note to photographers using digital processes: Submit your image files on a CD in accordance to the specifications above, and not as inkjet prints. This insures the best possible reproduction if your images are chosen for publication.)

SUBMITTAL FEES: $15 for non-subscribers (Include check with submittal.)

FREE for current and new subscribers

If you wish to have your submittal returned to you, include a self-addressed stamped envelope (SASE), otherwise your work will be filed in the Shots archive and will remain candidates for future issues. (Submittals bearing metered postage are not accepted by the postal service, and thus cannot be returned.)

As a way to promote the photographers presented in the pages of Shots, and to encourage dialogue between contributors, locations (city/state/country), e-mail addresses and website URL’s are typically printed. If you wish to have any or all of this information withheld, please indicate that to me. Likewise, photographs selected for Shots may also be presented on the Shots website. If you do not wish to have your work shown on this site, please indicate so.

Although reasonable care will be exercised in the handling of photographs submitted for review, Shots is not held responsible for loss or any damage of submitted materials.

Photography related written submittals (essays, interviews, etc.) are also accepted. Contact SHOTS for further information.

NOTIFICATION: Since all photographers submitting work (per the guidelines) will receive a copy of the magazine, letters of notification are not sent unless a SASE is enclosed with your submittal.
