Submit your images to ftpmagsubmissions@gmail.com with the Concept you’re submitting for as the subject. 

 

Please don’t forget the release and credits document!! Simply go to FILE and DOWNLOAD to save it on your desktop. You can then send in the document! Without this, we WILL NOT publish your images no matter how good they are.  

 

We do NOT charge for submissions nor do we PAY for submissions.  If you chose to submit, you are choosing to submit for the purposes of publication. In exchange for submitting, you will receive a tearsheet of your spread via email approximately one week after publication.  

 

Cover, Back Cover & Features will be selected based on quality of images compared to what else we have for a specific Concept or issue.  Asking for a cover will not get you very far. If you’re looking for a cover, a backcover, full page spreads or features, we need to have images that meet these requirements. If the images don’t meet the requirements, then the image may not be able to be used or may turn out more fuzzy than hoped for during printing.

 

When you’re submitting images, please try to send a variety of landscape and portrait orientations. This allows us to mix and match as appropriate. We try to fill each page with your images, sometimes 2+ pages and covers/showcases need more. The intent is to show off your work! We may not be able to use all of the images that you submit. The higher the quality the images, the better the overall magazine and your “look”.

Submission Information

Rules & Guidelines

  • Images may not have a watermark on them.

  • Final images must be high resolution.

  • Ideally, all submissions should have 2-3 images. You may submit as many images as you would like, but if you're going to submit a large number, please make sure to select only the best that you have and provide them in a full shared Dropbox or GoogleDrive folder instead of individually. We can help refine your submission if you need. 

  • You must include the release and credits document in order to be considered for an issue. If you submit without a release, we will send you the information and let you know that we can not print until you do so. Remember, simply DOWNLOAD to save it on your desktop. 

  • Submitting a good quality image really makes for a better magazine. A good quality image:
    – is generally taken with a quality digital camera (good optics, digital sensor, etc)
    – has not been enlarged via post-processing or in-camera digital zoom
    – has been shot properly with good lighting, in focus, not blurred
    – is stored in lossless format (i.e. TIF) or a low compressed JPG (highest quality JPG)
    – is 300 PPI at the print size (i.e. a full page is 2475 wide x 3300 tall)

    – Standard print size is 8.25" by 10.75" or 2475 wide by 3300 pixels tall for a portrait. We may need to crop or arrange images, depending on submission as well.

  • All images will be run through our personal filter. This doesn’t mean you can’t be sexy or show skin, it just means we’re not looking for nudity or Suicide Girls style images. This is for personal reasons.

  • Make sure you either own the copyright or have a release from the copyright owner. We do NOT need a copy of the photographer's release, but you need to be aware that the copyright is owned by the photographer. They can give you permission to submit the images.
