GENERIC SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

If you have not submitted to BrownTrout before, you must send us a proposal for consideration. Please email your proposal, with links, to enquiries@browntrout.com.au. In your email, be sure to state your niche, specialty and/or subjects that you photograph; and provide links to samples of work that directly relates to existing BrownTrout products.

We only accept new material only. Do not send images that you have previously submitted in prior years. Unless you have directed us otherwise, we move forward and make all images available to our Photo Editors for the next year.

Once your work is accepted for consideration, please follow the Image Submission Specifications below.

IMAGE SPECIFICATIONS

  • 300dpi
  • RGB
  • JPG file type (We don’t accept other formats including .tif, .png, .psd, .gif, .eps, etc.)
  • Minimum 3800 pixels wide – height is proportional.

FILE NAMING

We require a very specific file naming convention. Each image must be numbered (however you like), but the file name must include your initials (first and last name). e.g IMG_45638_JS.jpg – (“JS” for photographer John Smith. DO NOT use your full name.)

  • Do not use spaces, symbols (i.e., ©$%&#@*-“/) or punctuation in your file name.
  • Instead of spaces, please use an underscore “_” (note example above).
  • Keep file names short and do not exceed 15 characters.

CAPTION INFO: Include subject, location (city, state, country, etc.) and date (month, year).
