Please be sure to select which theme you are submitting for. Depending on when you submit and how far away that issue is, be aware that there may be a wait before proofs are sent out. Keep note as to our Release Issue Dates below.
We need high resolution digital photographs in order to print with the Best Quality with no visible pixelation. Low resolution images may be rejected. We do ask for photos that are taken with professional qualities in mind. DO NOT submit screenshots of photos from Instagram or other social media.

NOTE that you are responsible for acquiring any permissions required by individuals in submitted content or photographers involved in content. Address the IMAGE RELEASE page for information.
Photographers - Add the names of the cosplayers in the photos. Social media names.

Photographers - If you have a logo that you'd like to be visible in your showcase, please upload your logo file along with your photos. A png or vector format with transparent background is ideal. Due to the space available, photos may be cropped as needed and logos in the photo may be cropped out.

For Cover Image and Full Page consideration please provide image at 300dpi and at least 1000 pixels on the longest side of the image with no visible pixelation. Photo should be in a vertical/profile layout.
(Do not attempt to enlarge photo size as this reduces quality)
