Images
It is always best to send along images with your submission if they are available. We require a jpeg file of a minimum 1000K and not more than 3MB if possible. Please consult with the editor or design team before forwarding large files. All images should be in colour unless they are heritage files. Please include suggested captions to identify the images especially if you are sending more than one image.
