World Images Today wants your work!

Submission Guidelines
World Images Today Magazine

Photo and Article Submissions to World Images Today magazine, the official magazine of The World Photographers Organization.
I am open to all sorts of submissions. Photos are always welcomed. We love to get informative articles with accompanying photos. World Images Today (WIT) has some regular features that we appreciate contributions for. These categories include the following:
• Been There—Done That: This is a section were contributors tell stories with their photos of places of interest that they have experienced.
• Pro Pointers—These are just simply tips and techniques to help photographers in day-to-day shooting.
• Active Markets—This is a section where we bring to the knowledge of members and photographers of open markets who will publish, and sometimes pay, for photography.
• Featured Photographers—This is an email interview that I conduct with photographers, both pros and serious amateurs, to open doors to other photographers. Feel free to volunteer for an interview if you have something to share.
• Cover photos are sometimes supplied by contributors.
• Inside covers are often supplied by contributors.
• There is generally a photo showcase that allows photographers to see their work published in an International publication.
• Articles tend to range between 750 to 2,500 words.
• We have regular columnists and welcome more.
• World Images Today does not generally offer payment for contributions. All contributors get full credit for their work and retain all of their rights, with the exception of the use of their work in World Images Today and in The World Photographers Organization (TWPO) promotions. Their work is NEVER sold by WIT or TWPO.
• Our members are truly Worldwide. We have division bureau chiefs in the US, the UK, Australia, Asia, Singapore, India, and the Netherlands.
• World Images Today is open to the public. It is delivered to all TWPO members, to high-level book and magazine editors, production managers at major publishers who choose book covers, literary agents, modeling agencies, stock photo agencies, book and magazine publishers, and other selective VIPs. This is possible due to my, R. Dodge Woodson, connections in both the International photography and publishing market. Google me if you don’t believe these words.
• The World Photographers Organization is an elite group of photographers. Most of us are older pros who cut our teeth on KodaChrome and who have moved into the digital world. Other members are younger, some are much younger. Not everyone here is a full-time pro, but members do have access to us old workhorses when they need advice.
Many of our members are part-time pros. They make thousands of dollars a year part time. Some of our members are serious amateurs. TWPO caters to any serious photographer at any level of experience and equipment.
Members are not judged by their camera bodies, their lenses, their photo income, or other demographics. We judge photos, not photographers. Lifetime Memberships are only $197. We need your support! Join NOW, please! However, you are not required to be a member to be a contributor to WIT and there is no preferential treatment on acceptable submissions.

Submit only low-res photos at 72 DPI with a maximum measurement of 1,000.
