In contrast to Issue 11, our first issue back since taking an almost permanent hiatus from publishing, we only allowed a 2-week window to get us submissions. Well for Issue 12, we have decided to take it a whole other way.
Artist will have from February 5th to April 5th. This gives you a total of two months and 5 days to get us a submission. All of Feb, all of March, and 5 days into April. That's a very wide window to work with. Why? Because, in past issues and especially with Issue 11, we had artist who wanted to schedule special photo shoots with our publication in mind. Thus, as an experiment, we are giving ALOT more time than usual.
Here are the other submission guidelines, although we suggest everyone consult our actual submission guidelines page.
12 Image limit. You select. Please don't send us 13, or 20 and ask us to make the choices of what we want. Be professional and make your own selections.
(Note: NOT ALL 12 IMAGES WILL MAKE IT INTO THE PUBLICATION. WE ARE GOING OLD SCHOOL AND SELECTING WHAT WE LIKE BEST FROM YOUR SUBMISSION, ALL 12 COULD MAKE IT IN OR HALF, ALL DEPENDS)
You can submit on extra image, separate from the 12 image submission and mark it for Cover Consideration. DO NOT send us 13 and ask US to decide. Again, be professional and follow the rules.
Send images via, Dropbox or WeTransfer. Not by email or IG DM.
Our email is: the2121gallery@hotmail.com
Model Releases are Required!!! The Model release must contain the models signature,(not printed) and it has to be the name on their birth certificate or drivers license. If they have a model name they want known as list it somewhere as additional information on the MR.
If the image is tagged with a different name than what the model wants known as, YOU as the artist submitting the work need to make note of this and stipulate what they want known as. We can only go by what we see and what is on the MR. Take care of lose ends before submitting work.
Please do not wait until the very last day to send work.
Model will be listed in your work by model name along with their IG profile. We don't offer anything more than that. We have had a few photographers wanting the model to have top billing with the photographer's work. This won't happen.
We have the Publication Model Release if you have trouble in finding your own. Send us your email and we will get you a copy.
More submission details can be found on our Submission Guidelines page.
Respect.....This is the most important element in dealing with us. We make very VERY little off publishing your work. Yet, we work many hours a day to make all this happen, with a very small crew. So show some respect. I started out publishing an online magazine in 2016 and started print publishing in 2019, I have only blacklisted two artist in that time and it was done due to disrespect. I won't have it!!
