Submisions to Dek Unu
Dek Unu Magazine publishes and promotes fine art photography exclusively. We publish only one artist per monthly issue online and in paperback print formats. Each issue contains 11 images, an artist's commentary for each image, and an in-depth interview. Additional images from the artist are included in the interview section to add to readers' understanding of the artist and the work.
Please read and follow the guidelines carefully – the details matter.
Images:
72 ppi, .jpg. 1280 pixels (max) on longer side.
Name the image files exactly as follows:
-
Image sequence number — 01-11 order in portfolio (plus)
-
Artist's last name (plus)
-
Underscore (plus)
-
Image_title (separate words with an underscore)
If your name is Ed Weston, the first two files in your list of attached files would be named:
-
01Weston_Cabbage_Leaf.jpg
-
02Weston_Point Lobos,_1938.jpg – (etc.)
All fine art projects in all photo genres and techniques are welcome. Along with technical excellence, we look for coherent, intentional art (straight to strange) in selecting projects.
Documents:
Issues and interviews are in English; written facility is required.
(Submit all text in .doc, .docx, .odt, or .rtf only. No .pdf, no .pages, please.)
CV/Bio:
Relevant academic and life lessons; introduce yourself to friendly strangers. Most of our readers are artists and their appreciators, with broad interest in the arts.
Project Commentary:
Almost nobody likes to write or read a traditional "artist's
statement," so please use the bio and commentary docs to tell your story in detail. Tell what you believe is important to this project, your practice, and your life in and out of the arts. Unlike others, Dek Unu imposes no word count limit on your story. Please write in personal, accessible terms and avoid excessive jargon. Our jurors evaluate both the docs and the images to decide on each feature.
Please see Terms of Publication here.
E-Mail:
Send everything: images, bio, and project description, all attached to a single email addressed to: dekunumag (at) gmail (dot) com
No zips, dropbox, shared folders, or other transfer methods, please.
