Photography Guidelines |
 |
Whether you’re amateur or professional; in New York City or
Ulaanbaatar, we’re interested in showing others your travel
experience, through your camera. We seek well-shot quality
photography. Subjects may include portraits, wildlife, landscape,
adventure, destination, etc. If you think it fits the category of
“travel photography,” send us up to five (5) JPEG format images.
They must not be digitally manipulated. Be sure to include the
place, subject and year the photo was taken. Good luck! We look
forward to receiving your work.
e-Marginalia showcases the most captivating, transporting,
enchanting photographs we can lay our hands
on. We love reviewing your submissions and evaluating which will
most appeal to e-Marginalia readers. Nine finalists are selected for
publication and featured online for a duration of one month during
which readers around the world will help choose the most popular
images. And then we'll announce (and reward) the winners!
What are we looking
for?
The work we publish targets the adventurous traveler. We serve
people who seek "authentic" travel experiences, voyagers rather
than tourists. Our clients and site visitors marry discerning tastes
and sincere curiosity with a willingness (indeed a need) to venture
beyond the confines of the familiar and the comfortable. Travel
beyond the margin.
Your photo submissions should be original, well shot, high
quality images that effortlessly and
immediately transport viewers away from the quotidian and into the
magical folds of some far-off wonderland. Dramatic is good. Funny
is welcome. Beautiful is sublime. It's good to shoot high!
Submission Deadlines
Please review the
2006 submission deadlines. You are invited to
submit your work at any time; if it
is not timely for one issue, it will be considered for the next.
Fees
Submission fees help to offset the expense of running the contest
and enable us to offer higher payouts than our
free contests. You may submit one photo for US$ 3.00, two
photos for US$ 4.00 or five photos for US$ 5.00.
Once you've submitted your photo(s) we will contact you to
confirm receipt and bill you for the appropriate reading fee. You
will be able to pay by check (US and Canadian banks only) or
credit card, echeck or money transfer (secure transaction via
PayPal).
Rewards
e-Margaux.com is a boutique travel
community celebrating and inspiring alternative travel and travelers.
We follow a "contest model" which allows us to encourage excellent
travel photography while rewarding our most popular storytellers. The
photos
selected for publication each quarter are featured (on
e-Marginalia.com and in our monthly
email newsletter) and tracked for two months before being archived.
Tracking the popularity of each story permits us to
reward the writers of the top three most popular
photos according to the schedule below.
First Place - $150.00 maximum ($.05/visit;
$75.00 minimum)
Second Place - $100.00 maximum ($.05/visit; $50.00 minimum)
Third Place - $50.00 maximum ($.05/visit; $25.00 minimum)
Please note that archived photos will remain accessible to site
visitors, but tracking will be discontinued upon publication of the
subsequent issue.
Rights, Requests
& Requirements
When we publish your work at e-Margaux.com
we prefer (but do not require) 30-day
exclusive rights after publication, and nonexclusive electronic rights
thereafter. All submissions must be in English, and it is preferable
that they be previously unpublished and not simultaneously submitted
elsewhere. To increase your chances for publication, please follow
the submission guidelines below.

Considerations
