EAA Headquarters, Oshkosh, Wis – June 2, 2008 – Thanks to the anywhere/anytime nature of the Internet, it is easier than ever to share your Young Eagles success story with the world.
However, there are a few things to keep in mind that will increase the possibility of your story making it to the Young Eagles web site or even into one of the magazines.
- Please include your name, address and EAA number with your submission. Also let us know if youšre willing to have other EAA members contact you.
- Most web stories range from 400 – 800 words – or roughly a one page document. More details are always welcomed, however.
- Don’t think you have the talent to write a story? Think again! Describe the event in your own words. The excitement and highlights of the day will come through. We’ll take care of the editing part.
- Photos should be of the highest resolution possible. Check your camera’s setting and use the highest quality available. This is especially important for any photos that may be published in the magazines, where full-resolution images from a 2-megapixel camera or better are required...
- Identify the people in any photos whenever possible.
- Donšt send computer print-outs or Polaroids.
- Send as a JPG or TIFF (not Word.doc) file.
- Name files descriptively.
- Photos should be in focus and properly exposed. Watch shadows from high wing aircraft. Faces often get lost in the shadows.
- Propellers and photos don’t mix. Photos of children (or adults) hanging on or near propellers as a rule, are not published. Same goes for any other photo that shows safety concerns.
- Submissions are published at the sole discretion of the publisher and may appear in any of EAAšs publications or our websites. We reserve the right to edit your description and photos will not be returned.
Send electronic descriptions to youngeagles@eaa.org. Written articles should be mailed to EAA Young Eagles, P. O. Box 2683, Oshkosh, WI 54903-2683. We look forward to sharing your stories with the world!
