Submission Guidelines

On This Page:


Article Submissions

MDF Magazine SubmissionsSuggestions and contributions are welcome, though the Mule Deer Foundation and MDF magazine cannot assume responsibility for unsolicited materials.

All submissions supplied to MDF may be used without further consent at any time deemed necessary. 

Photo Submissions

All digital photography needs to be submitted in the full-resolution and unprocessed state. By unprocessed, we simply mean no cropping, no color-correcting, especially no down-sizing, no altering of the photo in any way. Basically, from the camera to us, as it
was taken.

Send high-resolution TIFF or JPEG files via e-mail or on a CD or DVD. Photos may also be posted to an FTP site (for our FTP site, contact the Editor) or send using Web sites such as YouSendIt.

Please do not submit images that are out of focus or overexposed.

Be sure to include name(s), date, location and other important information about the photo. If necessary, you are responsible for obtaining permission to publish from the people who appear in your photos.

General

We will assume CDs need not be returned, unless otherwise indicated. If you would like your submission returned, please include a self-addressed, stamped envelope with enough postage to return. We cannot be responsible for lost or misdirected mail.

Mule Deer Foundation pays for some, but not all, of the material published depending on need, nature, and quality of the submission.
