Here are some areas in which you can get involved.

Postal Service

Is it creative? Is it curious? We'd like to see it! Mail us postcards, letters, artwork, trinkets, photos, found objects... The most interesting things will be featured in the magazine and online. (Sorry, items will not be returned.)

The Work-in-Progress Society

Celebrating beauty in the unfinished: craft, art, design, and illustration photographed in progress. You are invited to share your works in progress in this Flickr group.

The images might be used in posts on the UPPERCASE journal about The Work-in-Progress Society (credited and linked to its Flickr member) and will be considered for print publication in the magazine. Should your image be selected for publication, you will be contacted for additional information and higher resolution files if necessary.

Call for submissions: Elder Style

For our Spring issue's style feature, we are celebrating the fashion sensibilities of senior style. Inspired by the blog Advanced Style and our own stylish grandparents, hat-wearing great aunts and dapper old uncles, we invite you to submit images and stories of fashionable elders.

There are two categories to which you can submit, images of them stylish back in the day (this beautiful woman picture above is Kate's grandmother) and contemporary photos (below). You're welcome to submit to both categories! Please include a description (100-150 words) of why you admire their style and any personal anecdotes you'd like to share. You need to have the permission of your subject or family before submitting a photograph for possible publication.

Images should be 4 inches wide at 300dpi and can be uploaded here.

Postcards

In issue 2, we have inserted one authentic vintage postcard in each magazine. Rubberstamped with our return address, we want you to modify the postcard in some way. Be creative! Manipulate, cut, paste, adorn... transform the postcard into something curious. Tell a story whether through words or pictures and send it back to us.

We will be curating your postcards into an exhibition as well as publishing them in future issues of the magazine. (*If we’re amazed by your creations and receive enough of them, we hope to publish a book!) Feel free to use your own old postcards as a starting point if you would like to send multiple submissions. Include your full name and contact information on each card. (Don’t forget the postage!)
