How it Works

JPG Magazine is made by you! As a member, you can submit photos and vote on other members' submissions. Here's how it works:

1. Shoot & Upload

Go take great photos like you always do. Then upload the best ones here. Photos must be high resolution originals - at least 2200 pixels tall or wide. Remember, JPG doesn't want all your photos - we want your best photos.

2. Submit

You can submit your favorite photos to themes. Themes are groups of photos on a common topic. You can only put one photo in each theme, and each photo can only be submitted to a single theme, so choose carefully!

3. Vote Box

When a theme is scheduled to be included in an issue of JPG Magazine, the voting box will appear on each of the photos you've submitted to a theme.

4. Peer Review

Your fellow photographers vote on your photo. Voting is about the quality of the photo as well as how well it fits the theme. Getting lots of votes doesn't guarantee publication, but it helps! Increase your chances by encouraging your friends to vote.

5. Final Selection

The JPG editors make the final selections and put together the issue. This takes a few weeks, so please be patient. You will be notified by email on the status of your submission.

6. Publication

The issue of JPG Magazine is published! If your photo is included, you get a free year subscription and $100! If not, there'll be a new issue to submit to. Try, try again!
