Submission Guidelines

Alabama The Beautiful™ Magazine invites photographers and readers to submit your photographs captured in the state of Alabama for publication consideration!

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR? We are a photography-rich publication with a mission to showcase the beauty of Alabama. We are not a lifestyle magazine. Our mission is to show Alabama’s diverse landscapes, cityscapes, rural areas, parks, nature, wildlife, historical places, and night skies, using quality images. While professional photography is certainly welcome, it is not a requirement for submission. We are looking for your beautiful photographs and interesting descriptions of Alabama.


Here’s what you need to know to submit your photo(s) PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY AND FOLLOW ALL REQUIREMENTS — OTHERWISE YOUR PHOTOS WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED FOR PUBLICATION:

  • Read through What We’re Looking For to know the themes for each upcoming month and get an idea of the subjects we’d like to see in your photos.
  • Use the Content Submission Form on the SUBMIT YOUR PHOTOS page to submit all materials for consideration.
  • Please include your full name, address, phone number, and email address.

PHOTO FORMATTING AND QUALITY: Attach photos as high-resolution .jpg or .jpeg or .png files. Each photo must be at least 300 dpi, 1800×1200 pixels or 1 MB file size, but not more than 20MB in size. We reserve the right to make minor edits, such as cropping your photo to fit the format of the magazine. The gear used to capture your photo is not important.

  • Please ensure your photos have NO WATERMARKS OR TEXT or unsightly obstructions that take away from the subject. The subject of your photograph should be in good focus. Your photo must be of good quality. Understand that we receive lots of submissions. Quality plays an important role in selecting images for magazine publication. But, if in doubt, submit it anyway.

DESCRIPTION: Please provide all pertinent information about the photos submitted, including: LOCATION where it was captured (ONLY PHOTOS CAPTURED IN THE STATE OF ALABAMA WILL BE CONSIDERED), time of year, time of day, gear used, and any story or memories related to the photo. Consider what other readers would like to know about your photo, such as names, places, and why this photo is special to you. We reserve the right to edit your words to fit the format, size, and to also correct grammar and/or spelling.

PHOTOGRAPHERS: If you are a professional photographer and have a website, social media sites, publication credits, awards, books, exhibits, art festivals, etc… we want to know about that! Please include this information in the Photographers section of the form. Our intent is to promote your work fully!
