Alumni Milestones Photo Submission Guidelines
Holy Cross Magazine's Milestones photo gallery showcases the celebrations that bring alumni friends together: christenings, weddings, ordinations, anniversaries, special birthdays and more.
Here are the requirements for digital or regular print photos to be considered for publication. (Your photo submission must meet ALL the following requirements).
MILESTONES Photos must meet all of the following requirements:
1. Person submitting the photo must be a graduate of Holy Cross, and must include his or her full name, email and phone number for confirmation purposes.
2. Because Milestones is meant to show the lasting bonds of friendships formed on the Hill, only group photographs will be accepted, and all persons in the photo must be Holy Cross alumni or faculty (with the exception of wedding and christening photos ... only one person in the couple must be an alumna/us or faculty).
3. All persons in the photo must be identified by first name, maiden name (if applicable), last name and class year.
4. The date, location and brief description of the event must accompany the photo.
5. Digital images must be at least 1 MB in size, with a resolution of 300 dpi or larger. (Regular prints can be submitted, but will not be returned.)
6. Name of photographer must be included. If the photographer is a professional, a letter of permission to publish at no charge must accompany the submission.
The editorial staff reserves the right to edit for content, accuracy and length. Due to the volume of submissions, we cannot guarantee that all items received will appear in the Magazine. Publication of an item does not constitute endorsement by Holy Cross. Milestones will only appear in the print version of the magazine, but may be submitted via email to hcmag@holycross.edu
TIPS
Friends and family take fun snapshots with their digital cameras and phones, but, unfortunately, these amateur shots are often too small or too low in resolution to meet our press standards. Here’s the scoop on making sure your photo makes the grade:
- E-mail the digital photo to us from a regular e-mail account (do not use photo sites such as iPhoto or Picasa, which often minimize images for ease of transmission).
- Make sure the image is at least 1 MB in size, and a resolution of 300 dpi or larger (as noted in the requirements above).
- Know that increasing the resolution of a previously saved file will not increase the quality.
