We want to hear from you! Send us your upcoming events, achievements, awards, news stories, good news and department/student/alumni successes. Here are some guidelines for submitting stories and photos for Perspectives.

STORIES or ARTICLES

• Perspectives is published on the 1st and 15th of each month. If the publication date falls on a Saturday/Sunday or holiday, Perspectives is published the following day.
  
  
• Articles should be no more than 300 words.
  
  
• Always provide basic details: who, what, when, where, why, how. Please include the name of a contact person (with phone number and/or e-mail address) in case more information is needed.
  
  
• News articles should be submitted within 14 days after the event has occurred. Articles to promote upcoming events should to be submitted at least 30 days in advance of event.
  
  
• Stories should always have photos, if possible.
  
  
• Due to the number of submissions received, we cannot guarantee every story will be published.

PHOTOS

• For digital images, send jpegs only. Please attach photos to e-mail, do not embed them in the body of the e-mail. Send us three or four of your best photos. Maximum photo file size (per photo) should be about 1 MB. Prints need to be a minimum of 4” x 6”. If you have questions or need help sending photos contact crmarket@palmbeachstate.edu.
  
  
• Submit original photos/prints; we will make any necessary edits (cropping, sharpening, color correction, etc.)
  
  
• Include identification information for every photo: ID left to right in photos, first and last names, (check to make sure spelling is correct) and person’s title. If sending multiple images, match up proper ID information with photo.
  
  
• With group photos, have no more than six people in a photograph; if needed, break large groups into smaller ones.
  
  
• Make photos interesting: fill the frame, eliminate distracting backgrounds, have your subjects doing something, rather than just stiffly posed staring at the camera.
  
  
• Know the limits of your camera. If possible, read the camera’s instruction guide.
  
  
• Photos that are badly out-of-focus, overexposed, underexposed or have excessive amounts of digital “noise” will not be published.
