Art Electronic Submissions Guide

Note: There is no fee for art submissions.

Please have electronic images cropped and colors adjusted to best represent the artwork; our production staff will only make the slight adjustments needed to accommodate printing requirements.

Please include the artist’s last name and the title of the piece in the name of the file.

 

• At least 300 dpi

• Size for width at least 5 inches at 300 dpi (14 inches at 72 dpi only ends up being 2.5 inches at 300 dpi)

• JPG is fine, but TIF is better. 

• Send in RGB or CMYK. 

Please include your full contact information (name, address, phone, email); the titles, media, and dimensions of each image; a 50-word or less biographic statement, and a 50-word or less art statement with your submission.

Send submissions to editor@calyxpress.org.

We recommend you either send each picture separately or send via “You Send-it” or in a zip file or on a CD, any of which can handle dense files without compressing the pictures so they don’t end up 300 dpi (even though they may have started out like that).

Art is considered on a biannual basis. The Art Collective meets in May and in December to consider art for the two upcoming issues, and all art received in each six-month window will be discussed during one of those two meetings. You may withdraw submitted pieces at any time.

*Please Note*: Art that is accepted at CALYX Journal may also be used for non-commercial publicity purposes.
