Guitar Shorty - Fan Art and Photographs Policy

1. Fan art and photographs may be submitted by regular mail or e-mail, but we'd rather receive art via regular mail. All submissions must be accompanied by a release form.

Here's where to send your art or photographs and release:

Guitar Shorty PO Box 5 Harlingen, TX 78551-0005M

2. Fan art may be submitted in black and white or in color, but color fan art may be rendered in black and white in books at our discretion. If sent by regular mail, all fan art must be no larger than 11" by 17", and if sent by e-mail, your art should be sent in JPEG or GIF format at a resolution of 150 to 300 DPI and with a file size not greater than 2 MB.

3. You can send us either originals or photocopies by regular mail. IMPORTANT: NO SUBMISSIONS WILL BE RETURNED TO YOU.

4. For e-mail submissions, include your name, your age, and your address, and include your first name_last name in the name of any file you attach. SPECIAL NOTE: Our e- mail servers scan for viruses, so we may not receive your attachment. That's one reason we prefer to receive art submissions by regular mail.

5. For regular mail submissions, clearly print your name, your age, and your complete address on the back of each page you send.

6. Anything you send to us becomes the property of Guitar Shorty and, as we said before, it will not be returned to you. We will have the right to print, reproduce, distribute, or modify the artwork for use in any of our products, on our Web site, and in our publicity and promotional materials, royalty-free and forever.

7. If you are under 18, we will need a written parental permission in order to use your submission. If you submit by e-mail, we will send you a form for your parent to complete and mail to us. If you submit by regular mail, you can cut out a step by having your parent sign and date the permission on the back of your submission. The permission can be a very simple statement like: "I am (your name’s) parent. I have read and agreed to the terms of Guitar Shorty’s fan submission policy, posted on his website." Please remember that the permission must be on the back of your submission and signed and dated.

9. We will have the right to print your name, city, and state if we include all or any part of your submission in any of our products.

10. And, last but not least...you acknowledge that all material you send to us is your original creation and does not violate the rights of others..
