Photographer/Model /Designer Feature

First thing’s first, these images MUST be exclusive content, or they will not be accepted. This means no social media posts too!
Be sure that you own the rights to the photos, or have your photographer sign a content release form for publication.
All credits must be accounted for!
Have a Dropbox account with a folder containing the images with the name of your photoset and date as the folder name.
Please only submit one photoset at a time! You will overwhelm us. Keep it a cohesive storyline, that way you don’t lose the viewer.
Nudity is okay, as long as it’s artistic/tasteful. No Playboy spread eagles… unless there’s some kind of demonic creature coming out of there (no birth shots). No straight up porn shots.
Please send the low-res version (72 dpi) first, then if accepted send the high-res version (300 dpi).
We do not accept images that are watermarked.
When submitting, please allow 2-4 weeks for a response.

Film Feature

Have all of the credits necessary or a proper feature (everyone who worked on/off set).
When submitting videos, please only send us the link to your Youtube or Vimeo account.
Be sure that it is at least 1080HD resolution (4K preferred)
Let us know about your work! What’s it about?

Band Feature — FULL LENGTH POST HERE

We only feature variations of metal, rock, and alternative music (if I’m not head banging, I don’t want it).
Please send a link to your Soundcloud or Youtube account.
Do not send us MP3s of your music. Links only!
Have high quality audio! No grain!
Send at least one promo photo of you/your band to us via Dropbox link for a feature.
If selected, be prepared to answer questions regarding your music, band, yourself etc.

Send the document (.doc) to mfknzine@gmail.com
If it’s an article, send the PITCH, not the article.
