Themes & Deadlines
    “She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah.” The first theme for Spring 2011 is She Loves. . . (fill in the blank). She loves. . . her mom, her gardening tools, her Harley . . . you name it. The second theme for that issue is Rabbits, but we had so many good rabbit submissions for the Holidays issue (“Down the Rabbit Hole”) that we decided to hold many of them for this issue and do two rabbit centerfolds, so don’t send us any more rabbit art, please. (Bunnies are hopping all over our office!) 
    Deadline for She Loves . . . is September 5, 2010.
Do send us . . . 
    Chocolate. Yes, the first theme for Summer  2011 is Chocolate. Any artwork relating to our favorite dessert will be considered. The second theme is Trees. We all love trees, right, almost as much as chocolate. Spruce, maple, oak,  palm, ginkgo--any tree is fair game.
    Deadline for Chocolate and Trees is December 5, 2010.

   Remember to include your name, address, and stamp credits on the back of each submission.  Note: The due date is when the artwork needs to be postmarked. There’s no need to send it overnight, if you get to the post office on time. Also note, cover artists receive $200.

General Guidelines      
       All submissions should have some rubber stamp imagery. With each submission, please list stamp credits. Instructions are not needed with the submission.
       Always include your name, postal address, telephone number or e-mail address and stamp credits on the back of each submission. Submissions can be original artwork, slides, photographs, color photocopies or color prints.
       We welcome artwork on issue themes. There are generally two themes per issue. (See below for specific information on theme submissions.)
       We also welcome artwork not on a specific theme. These pieces can appear in the various columns within each issue. Also, when theme artwork isn't returned right away, that means we're considering it for a future issue, either a second centerfold or for one of the columns.

Theme Art
       We prefer submissions no larger than 5 inches by 6-1/2 inches in size. All submissions are subject to reduction. Theme artwork can include highly dimensional art or 3-D pieces.
       Submit up to four entries per theme. Artwork is returned when accompanied by an SASE. If submitting for more than one theme, please include an SASE for each theme-this helps us keep track of everything. Always include your name, postal address, telephone number or e-mail address and stamp credits on the back of all your artwork.

Cover Art - Cover artists receive $200. Cover submissions can be:
       1) 8-5/8 inches wide by 11-1/4 inches high. This size assumes the artwork fills the whole cover. About 1/4 inch will be trimmed off each edge. Please leave a blank space somewhere for information about what's inside the issue. Also, try not to put any of your favorite images in one of the bottom corners of the cover, where a store pricing symbol will be placed.
       2) 8-5/8 inches wide by 10-1/2 inches high. This size fills the cover except for a 3/4 inch strip across the top for information about what's inside the issue. About 1/4 inch will be trimmed from each edge. Again, try not to put any cool images in one of the bottom corners, where the store pricing symbol will be placed. (Remember that about 1.5 inches of the page will be overlaid with our logo
