Interested?
Before you start emailing and posting your work to us please take a few moments to read through the advice steps and guidelines. If you follow these steps, you'll have your work on display in your own Showcase gallery much quicker than if you don't!
STEP 1: Ensure that your work is in the right format
We can take work in a variety of media from images to video to audio. Please ensure that you send your work in the right format / file format as detailed below:
Art
Images should be sent as .gif or .jpg format. The images should be a minimum of 500 pixels wide (for landscape format) or 500 pixels high (for portrait format) and no larger than 1000 pixels wide or high. If you are sending an animated gif please make the file size as small as possible.
(If you are unable to provide images large enough i.e. they were shot on a mobile phone camera, please send in the largest version available and indicate how the shot was captured [on a mobile etc])
Film & Video
Films should be submitted in Mpeg or AVI format and the file size should be no larger than 10Mb.
Creative Writing
Written work can be sent within the body of an email or as an attached file in either Rich Text Format (.rtf) or Plain Text (.txt).
Music & Audio
Music and audio files should be sent in MP3 format and the file size should be no larger than 5MB (for music tracks) 10Mb (for all other audio).
