Photographers

Is photography your passion or hobby? We invite you to submit your best photo to be considered for the next TIP cover. Amateur and professional photographers who are SIOP members, Student Affiliates, or staff are welcome to submit photos. Photos will be chosen on the basis of creativity and photographic quality. The SIOP Administrative office and TIP editor will select final cover photos; all decisions are final.

Photo Formats/Copyrights

Photos may be submitted as prints or digital format. YOU must be the original photographer. Your submission of the photo is your guarantee that you are the author and copyright holder of the photo.

Number of Photos/Restrictions

You may submit as many photos as you like. Photos will not be returned so please do not send your only copy of a photo. Photo subject is open but must be appropriate for posting on TIP’s cover, and questionable content will not be considered. SIOP retains sole discretion as to what constitutes inappropriate content.

Ownership/Use Rights

Photographers retain the copyright to their photographs. By sending a photo, you agree to have your submitted photograph displayed on the TIP cover without any fee or other form of compensation and agree that SIOP may display the photo and make and retain copies of the photograph for archival purposes. Photos will be credited to the photographer named. Photos will not be used in any manner for advertising or sale.

Digital Images

Digital images should be formatted to 300 dpi, no smaller than 900 by 676 pixels. Images should be submitted in JPG (at high quality) or TIFF format. Digital images will not be returned. Minor digital enhancement is permitted, but images that have been significantly modified or appear unnatural will be disqualified.

Submitting Prints

Prints must be 4 x 6 inches or 5 x 7 inches. Do not send negatives. Attach a label to the back of your print with your name and address. Do not write on the photo itself. Prints will not be returned.
