Guidelines for Art Submissions
Original artwork and video embeds from the wider Web. Show us what you've made.
I’m open to publishing visual art of just about any type, so long as it is of professional quality and says something interesting in a new way. Cartoons and line drawings are especially welcome here. Moocat.net does not accept or publish pornographic images. Any such images sent will be immediately deleted and the sender’s email address blocked.
Original works only. Exclusive submissions strongly preferred (and acted on first). Simultaneous submissions will be reviewed only after all exclusive submissions have been reviewed. Only works sent in via the online submission form will be considered.
Size and Quality
Target no. of images: 3 - 20. Images should be larger than 60 x 60 px but height and width must be no larger than 2000 px. Acceptable file formats include JPG, JPEG, PNG, TIF, and PSD. For best results, I suggest JPG format for photographs. Files will be opened on a PC for consideration, so please save files in PC format if using a Mac or a Linux OS.
Submitting Image Files
Currently, our submission form accepts image URLs rather than file uploads. If your work is not available online, you can host it for free at Google Drive, Dropbox, or Imgur and paste the shared link into the Image URL field. Please ensure the link is set to public viewing. If you can’t use any of the above, you can contact me via the Contact Us form and explain your situation; you may be able to send in your art images via email, if they are smaller than 5MB.
Video Submissions
Try to keep videos no longer than about 10 minutes. Longer pieces will be considered on a case-by-case basis. If your video link is password-protected, you can include the password in the “Notes to Editor field” of the form.
Other Stuff
I will only post material sent from contributors with a working e-mail address, which I will use exclusively for communicating with about the work. Your email address will not be published, unless you explicitly request it.
Copyright
You retain full copyright in your work. By accepting a formal offer of publication, you grant moocat.net First Worldwide Serial Electronic Rights and a perpetual, non-exclusive license to maintain the work in its digital archive. Moocat.net holds exclusive electronic rights for 90 days following publication, after which all rights revert to you and you may republish the work elsewhere, provided moocat.net is credited as the original publisher.
The Submission Process
All submissions are processed on Duotrope, using the Duosuma submission management system, which we subscribe to. Your work will be reviewed only by moocat.net editors.
Simultaneous Submissions
Upon receiving a Conditional Acceptance, authors must notify other editors of the piece’s withdrawal within 48 hours.
Editorial Exclusivity
To protect the time invested in iterative editing, the work remains exclusive to moocat.net during the collaborative phase until either a final grant of rights is signed or the piece is formally withdrawn.
