Big changes for JPG! In short: moving to traditional offset printing for better image quality, memberships, voting on submitted images, more themes, and US $100 and a subscription if your work is published.
Their newsletter explains:
Dearest JPGgers,
Exactly two years ago today, JPG Magazine began with a simple mission to honor the amazing work coming out of the online photographic community. Today, six issues later, the humble project that began with a Gmail account and a dream is growing up. Come see!
There’s a lot that’s new, including memberships, more themes, and voting! And there’s even more new with the magazine, including a larger format, more pages, more frequent publishing, and a much lower price tag! And did we mention that, if you’re chosen for publication, you’ll get $100 and a free subscription?
And this is just the beginning. We’ve got big plans. Very soon we’ll be making subscriptions available for the first time, ever. If you’re interested in subscribing (and we hope you are) be sure to sign up and we’ll let you know when they’re available.
Today also marks the opening of submissions for Issue 7! Unlike past issues, this one’s got three themes: Big, Self-portraiture, and Hometown. As usual you can submit one photo to each, but now there’s three, so that’s 300% more chances to get published!
But enough talk. C’mon in. Check out some photos. Vote in the themes. And submit your excellent work now, because Issue 7 closes in two weeks!
It’s been a helluva two years. Thanks for JPGing with us. Keep shooting, baby!
