Submission Guidelines

WeScrap™ (the “Website”) is an online resource designed and created for people who share a common interest in and desire to exchange information about scrapbooking. Our readers encompass a variety of stages of development in their craft but are typically quite knowledgeable and dedicated to the pursuit of nature photography.

Submissions of articles and/or photographs/images for posting on the Website ("submissions") are encouraged at any time and must be submitted in electronic format via email to editors@wescrap.com. In your email, please inform us if any part of your submission has been previously published, and if so, where and when it has appeared.

Acceptance of submissions, whether articles or photographs, will generally be based on thematic timeliness, appropriateness of subject matter, clarity, adherence to standard conventions of the English language, and conformance with all Website policies. Preference will be given to submissions that are clear, concise, focused, innovative, fresh, of educational or entertaining value to the readership of the Website and documented or well-researched, when appropriate. We reserve the right to edit content. The right to refuse to post or to accept for publication any submission on the Website is our sole discretion.

Submissions that are feature articles should be limited to 1,500-1,800 words; essays to 500-1,200 words. We encourage nature photography-related articles pertaining to the subjects of biology, natural history, habitat, behavior, location, art and technology. Submissions that are photographs or images may be submitted with articles for illustration purposes, or may be submitted alone. All photographs and images must be provided in JPEG image format. Please do not submit more than one image/photograph per 350 words, and no more than five total in one submission. Images/photographs should not exceed 100 kilobytes in size, nor should their longest side exceed 600 pixels in length. Please contact us regarding use of panoramic images in advance of forwarding the images.

By providing your submissions to us, you grant us a perpetual, non-exclusive, irrevocable and royalty-free right and license to reproduce, copy, distribute, modify, edit, create derivative works from and publish your submissions (in original or edited form) on the Website only. You retain your copyright interest as owner and/or author of your submissions and you retain all other proprietary rights in and to such submissions. In our discretion we may add copyright notices to submissions, where appropriate, if your submissions don't already bear an appropriate copyright notice. When you provide submissions to us, you represent and warrant that: (i) you are the sole author of the submission and/or you own the copyright and/or you have sufficient authority from the author or authors to grant Us the rights and licenses set above; and (ii) the submission is a work original to the author (unless identified by you as containing original works of third parties) and that such submission, including all third party works of authorship, does not infringe any copyright, trademark, tradename (or knowingly infringe any patent or any other proprietary right) of any third party.

Unless we execute a written agreement with you stating otherwise, neither you nor any of your licensors will be paid for our use of any article, text, photograph, image or other submission that you provide to us. Any article, text, photograph, image or other published submission will remain in the archives on the Website in perpetuity or until such time as the Website removes the material.
