Guidelines for Submissions to FotoFax the NVPS Newsletter & the NVPS Website

If you would like to submit information to be published in Fotofax or on the NVPS Website, the following information will be helpful to you. It’s important to note that we only publish information that is related to photography and we do not accept advertising as this would be contrary to the mission of NVPS. Our membership is from the the Northern Virginia and Washington DC metropolitan area and we limit most of the information to local interest.

We will publish the following type of information that may be of interest to our membership:

  • Photographic Competitions: Website & Fotofax
  • Exhibits: Website & Fotofax
  • Field Trips: Fotofax only
  • Workshops: Fotofax only

Additional items are accepted from members, please see information below.

Please note for all submissions we do not accept attachments, pdfs, images, etc. Please provide the information in plain text with as little formatting as possible. You are free to provide links to additional information.

All requests should be sent to editor@nvps.org.

Specific guidelines for Workshops and Fieldtrips are below.

Revised Workshop Submission Information (August 2010)

The NVPS Board of Directors had decided to reduce the amount of information about workshops published in the NVPS newsletter, FotoFax. Beginning with the September 2010 issue, information about workshops will only be accepted from current NVPS members and from people who have judged competitions or presented programs in the previous two years. Only a brief characterization of the types of workshops offered and a web site and contact information will be included. Exceptions may be made on a case-by-case basis for events deemed to be of widespread interest to club members by nationally known speakers.

Guidelines for Members Announcements

We have a special section on the website for members announcements. If you are a NVPS member and you are exhibiting your work or have had images accepted for publication, this section is for you to let your fellow club members and the rest of the world know. Send an email to editor@nvps.org and we’ll post it on the website for you and include it in Fotofax when possible. This benefit is only available to members who are current with their dues.
