Hi Everyone,

Every issue of the LONELY PLANET will have a section called POSTCARDS that will feature photos taken by readers. We will give priority to DPP Shooters to have their TRAVEL images published in the LONELY PLANET. If we like your photo, we will contact you.

Some points:

1. A special LONELY PLANET Postcards Gallery will be opened for every issue of the magazine.

2. DPP shooters will be allowed to submit 3 images per ISSUE.

3. Your photo must have a title attached to it.

4. If we contact you, you must be able to provide background information about the photo. For the LONELY PLANET, we don't care for camera settings or photography technique, we want to know where the image was taken, when, why, etc.

5. Your photo must have been taken within the last 12 months otherwise we won't publish.

6. Digital editing is allowed but adding of elements is not. The picture should be true to its nature.

7. TRAVEL is pretty general. It can be landscapes, landmarks, photojourn, etc. You should read Issue 31 for tips. :)


OTHER: We will need about 40 Photos to be printed for the LONELY PLANET Launch Party. The Launch Party will be on May 19 at the Ayala Museum. If we choose your photo, we will give you a personal invitation to attend the party since your photo will be displayed in the Museum on that day. More details about the party coming soon.

Looking forward to seeing those great shots.

Just a couple of questions sir, when will the gallery for this be opened? Also, point #2 says: "submit 3 images per photo" - does this mean DPP shooters / readers are allowed to submit a max of 3 images per issue?

Thank you very much!

Hi Sir Nick,

How do we send our photos? Do you have an email address we can send it to? Or do we upload the submissions here?

Thanks!

Thanks!

1. A special LONELY PLANET Postcards Gallery will be opened for every issue of the magazine.

Also, to clarify Nick, the locations for the photos taken should be only in the Philippines or just about anywhere ON the planet?

hi. i know this is a DIGITAL site, but i was just wondering if you would be accepting images taken using film, and then scanned into a digital image? or just photos taken digitally? thank you.

We need more photo's for postcards guys... Just keep posting till May 1, 2010.

does this mean we can post more than 3 entries?

Nick Tuason
04-21-2010, 06:44 PM
No let's keep it at three entries per person. We actually have a lot of submissions already but I wanted to see if we can get more so I told our Madie to go online and bump the thread.

A previous poster asked about film shots that were scanned. We can take those too but please follow our 12-month rule.

Last thing you should remember is that this POSTCARDS request is for our the gallery of our Launch Party. These images will not be published in the first issue. We already have those images as we have already finished editing our magazine. If we choose you for Postcards Launch Party, you will be given an invitation to the party and have a chance to win numerous raffle prizes like airline tickets, hotel stays, etc.

But fear not, there is a very good chance to get your images published in Lonely Planet. We will always start with DPP Forum first with requests before going anywhere else.:)

LemjayLucas
04-21-2010, 06:54 PM
i see.. hmm... was there a previous gallery for the first issue that i missed? or is the upcoming magazine's photos were purely shots from the one assigned to travel? :RedEye:

Nick Tuason
04-21-2010, 06:57 PM
Lemjay there was no previous gallery for the first issue. Postcards for the first issue was basically offered privately to DPP Mods and heavy supporters. Issue 2 onwards comes open territory.

LemjayLucas

thanks for clarifying nick. :)

i'm excited for lonely planet! :D hope to find my shots in this mag someday. :)

Bumping this thread once again. We already have over 200 images, which is quite a lot already. However, we have until May 1 so hopefully we can take this to 500 images. Keep them coming everyone.

Sirs, please be reminded that the mode of our conversation in this forum is in English as stated in the guidelines. :) Why English? because not all of us here are Filipino readers.

Anyway, as for the Lonely Planet cards, I think the deadline was May 1. It was mentioned by someone pages ago. I am not sure, please do backread.
