Submission Guidelines

.
MAGC members and invited guests are welcome to submit articles at any time. Regular calls for theme-related articles will be posted to our newsgroups.
Please note that any articles and/or images published in MAGazine may also be used as content on our website and to promote MAGazine or the Metal Arts Guild of Canada.

Next deadline is January 15, 2010 for the College Issue.
Our standard deadlines are January 15 for the Spring/Summer Issue, May 15 for the Fall Issue, and September 15 for the Winter Issue.

WRITTEN TEXT GUIDELINES

.
Please submit all articles as MS Word documents (*.doc) or as rich text format (*.rtf) files. Theme-based articles can be up to 1500 words, individual artist-based articles can be up to 750 words. At this time, MAGC does not offer remuneration for articles; however extra copies of any published articles can be made available on request.

IMAGE GUIDELINES

.
Digital images should be submitted in TIFF, JPG or RAW form. Image resolution should be no less than 300 ppi and 1500 x 2100 pixels (12 x 18 cm / 5 x 7 inches), or preferably 2400 x 3000 pixels (20 x 25 cm / 8 x 10 inches) in size. Please label all jpgs clearly, with the last name of the artist and title keyword (i.e. smithflowerring.jpeg). Do not alter or edit images in a photo editing program! Repeated file saving diminishes image quality, especially in jpg format. If corrections need to be made, please add a note and we will make the corrections. 

Images must be accompanied by caption information, which cover the following details: artist name, title of work, materials, construction technique, size and year of completion.

With all article submissions, please include a 50 word biography or byline. (Example: Mary Moore has been a jeweller and metalsmith for fifteen years, living and working in Edmonton. She can be contacted at www.marym.com). These bios are printed on the Contributors Page.
