You can pitch your own work, propose an article about someone else or suggest a topic that you would like to research.
Please make sure that your submission is suitable for UPPERCASE magazine. Be familiar with the magazine and its writing and visual style.
Please do not submit the same idea multiple times. Please do not email about the status of your submission; you will be contacted if your work is suitable for publication. UPPERCASE is quarterly and sometimes we're planning issues nearly a year in advance. Thanks for your patience.
Please remember that you are submitting to a print magazine. You don't have to be a professional writer but good communications skills are very important. If your idea is excellent and/or your visual submission is amazing, we can pair you with one of our writers, we can interview you or find other ways to feature the idea or your talent.
Please follow the specific instructions in the submission forms.
Take your time to write and gather images before submitting.
When submitting images, please do not have any watermarks on them. Do not submit photo collages—each image should be separate.
