The Junior Photojournalist Program

Alberta Land & Life welcomes editorial submissions accompanied by suitable photographs on favorite parks, places or protected areas, from elementary, junior high school and high school students attending classes in Alberta. All submissions must be based on subject areas that are located geographically within the province of Alberta, and must include both editorial and photographs. Students may make shared, joint submissions.

Accepted submissions will be published as a Department within each issue, receive a cash remuneration of $250 and additional recognition as a contributor within the "Contributors This Issue" section near the front of the magazine. This is an invaluable opportunity for experience and recognition.

Four Seasons Publishing and Communications Inc. and Alberta Land & Life will reserve the right to edit stories as required, choose photos and maintain editorial standards. Departments are usually considered to be two to four pages in length. Each submission should be from 300-500 words and accompanied by 8-10 photos. These photos may be film or digital. Hand-printed stories are acceptable for elementary students.

A four-person panel will do judging for each issue; members of this panel will be posted on-line in the near future. Selected submissions will be required to sign a necessary release and contract with parental approval before we go to press. All persons portrayed in photographic submissions will be required to sign a Consent Form for Photography provided by Alberta Land & Life.

Please mail submissions to The Publisher, Alberta Land & Life, P.O. Box 54006, Forest Heights Post Office, Edmonton, AB, T6A 3Y7.

Direct enquires to bpeters@planet.eon.net Deadline for each issue will be 45 days prior to publication date. Watch for more information on publication dates.
