PropTalk’s annual cover contest has officially begun! And guess what?! We are bringing back the dog theme by popular demand.
So, you have between now and July (plenty of time) to get out on the water and take photos of your happy boat dogs enjoying life on the Bay.
Here’s How it Works:
- Submit your photo in the form below by July 25. (ONE PHOTO PER PERSON)
- This is a powerboating magazine so while we love sailboats and paddlecraft, a powerboat must be clearly visible in the photo to be considered for the cover.
- Vertical photos work best, with room for our header and cover lines.
- Only high-resolution (i.e. not blurry) photos will be considered for the cover.
- We love images of happy boaters, so don't hesitate to send a photo with a dog and a person in it. If a child is pictured, make sure he or she is wearing a lifejacket (properly), or we won’t consider it for the cover.
- We are also a Chespeake Bay-based magazine, so make sure those photos were taken on the Bay.
- Once the submission period has ended, our graphic design team will disqualify any photos that do not meet our printing or submission requirements (any images that are too low of a resolution, are blurry or too dark, if a child was pictured without a lifejacket, if there is no powerboat in the photo, and if there was not enough room in the image for our PropTalk header, footer, and cover lines).
Voting Rules:
We will announce details on voting in print and online at the end of July. At the close of voting, the photo with the most votes will grace the cover of the September PropTalk!
- You may only vote once, so make sure to share the contest with friends and family and share it on your social media to get more votes for your favorite photo. By voting, participants will be subscribed to our monthly email newsletter. You may opt out at any time.
- All photos will be eligible for voting, except those that do not meet our guidelines and/or printing requirements above. We truly wish every photo could be eligible for voting but the photo must be the correct size/shape and high resolution with room for our header, footer, and cover lines, and it must follow our submission rules or we have to eliminate it.
- Cheating will not be tolerated. Invalid emails will not be counted towards the total vote.
- At the close of voting, the photo with the most votes will grace PropTalk's September cover.
