    • Please do not stretch images to meet the dimensions. This will ruin the quality of your submission.

COVERS:

​

We do not make promises, or guarantees for cover selection. We do not and will not accept payment to be on the cover. The cover image is collectively decided upon after reviewing ALL submissions for the month after the closing date. 

​

How can I increase my chances of being selected for a cover?

  1. We look for covers that are in the above mentioned formatting and that best match the theme.

  2. We only accept portrait images for the cover, so be sure to provide a variety upon submission.

  3. We prefer images with a decent amount of negative space to allow for text. It's our rule of thumb to avoid covering the artwork in the image and like to keep it simple.

  4. We like receiving 5 different images of the same set. But you may submit more if you can provide us with a Google Drive or Dropbox link.

  5. Think outside of the box!

  6. You can review past covers by clicking the 'issues' link in our menu bar. 

  7. Yes, we accept group images for covers.

​

IF REJECTED: 

​

  • There is little or no space left for the issue submitted for. (1/1/2022: We are now enforcing a submission cap to streamline costs on Magcloud.)

  • The model was under the age of 18.

  • Work was submitted after the deadline.

  • Submission was emailed.

  • The image appears to be "warped", or stretched. 

  • The quality of the images aren’t to our standard. (i.e. blurry, cropped, incorrect dimensions, bad resolution, warped image of subject(s))

  • The submission did not fit the theme for the issue. We only have the form open for one theme at a time to prevent any overlap.

  • The submission contained cellphone edited "selfies" or screen shots. It's not that we don't want to publish you, but we can't print these images to meet your expectations. They will appear pixelated, warped, and in poor color.

 

***Although your rejection could be due to any of the above stated reasons, we unfortunately are unable to provide critiques due to time constraints. We highly recommend joining our Facebook Group for friendly critiques from our amazing community of creatives. ***
