We here at King Snow have a pretty strong belief that any publication worth a damn should be accessible to those who read it.
To that end, we have an open call for submissions at all times. Now, keep in mind we do NOT pay for web submissions (anything that runs in the print mag, you will get paid for), but we’re down to give anyone who reads our site a chance to contribute and get a little exposure for themselves.
This doesn’t mean we’ll post just any old crap. Our editors will go through what’s submitted and post what they think is good. Sorry kids, we’re pretty open-minded, but some stuff just isn’t ready for public consumption.
All submission inquiries should be sent to submissions@kingsnowmag.com
Here are a few guidelines:
Each week we publish artist and photographer profiles, as well as our SpyCam photo feature. That means we rely heavily on people sending in their artwork and photos, so the chances of getting your stuff published are pretty damn good. If you’re an established artist who’d like to collaborate on something, we’re down for that too. JPGs sized at more than 500 pixels high at 72 dpi resolution are ideal. Anything smaller than that won’t work.
Short stories should be that—short. 2500 words is the maximum we have space for online, but we’re always willing to take a peek at something longer for one of our upcoming print editions. Word, TXT or RTF documents are the only formats we’ll look at. Please, don’t send stuff in that has no spaces between words or is lacking the use of even a single capital letter. It’ll get deleted immediately. Using all lowercase letters isn’t an art form; it’s just moronic.
If you’re a filmmaker or animator looking for exposure, by all means send us your stuff. We’re interested in just about every genre, and are always down to run full-length films – be they snowboard videos or passion projects. Contact us for submission details.
If there was an art show you went to and took pictures at (and not just of your drunk friends, but of the actual event), we’re more than happy to post it if you can string a few words together to go along with it. If you’ve got an event coming up, let us know and we’ll help promote the hell out of it.
We generally like to interview people ourselves, but if you’ve got an interview with someone notable (either in print or on video), we’d love to check it out.
If you’ve got a product you’d like us to check out, send it to our mailing address. We make no promises it’ll make it online, but it’s a pretty safe bet it will.
