SUBMITTAL GUIDELINES

Send up to 12 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, or click here to pay online using PayPal) *

FREE for current and new subscribers (for subscription information, please visit the Order Page)

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.

NOTIFICATION: Since all photographers submitting work per the guidelines will receive a copy of the magazine (and will thus see whether or not their work was included), letters of notification are not sent.

* Non-subscribers who choose to pay the Submittal Fee will be sent one complimentary copy of the issue they submit work to.
