If you or your committee wishes to submit an article on some aspect of nature photography for publication on the blog (not in the digital newsletter), please submit it to GNPAwebarticle@gnpa.org
To get help in publicizing GNPA events, contests, or activities on the GNPA website or in an email, please follow the process outlined below as provided by the Communications Committee. All requests should be submitted to GNPApromotion@gnpa.org
For events, make sure that you allow plenty of time for the event to be publicized, and provide ample opportunity for potential participants to plan. Day trips may need only a month or less notice and usually will need only an entry in the Meetup calendar rather than a supporting announcement/article on the GNPA website. Overnight trips, however, should offer 4-6 months’ notice, and major trips that involve air travel and multi-night accommodation should be published 9-12 months in advance.
The article describing the event/competition/activity should be submitted at least two weeks before it needs to appear on the GNPA website. The submission must include any photos that you want to accompany the article (but no more than four), plus all the basic information (who, what, where, when) about the event. Also, indicate which photo should be used as the lead image. If you’d like the event to be publicized on GNPA social media, please indicate that in your email.
In addition to a blog/website article, it may sometimes be possible to send out an email to all GNPA members with info about the event. The text of that email should be submitted along with the text of the blog article. Remember, short emails with a brief subject line will get a better response than long ones. Include only the basic information; follow-up emails with additional details can be sent to those who will actually participate.
Make sure to establish a point of contact, and provide an email address, whom interested parties can contact with questions. If the point of contact is different than the person submitting the article, the communications committee must have that person’s contact information. A point of contact must be included for the article to be published.
The basic article that is submitted should include all event details, including travel and accommodations, fee and deadlines, what is covered by the fee, and what is not. It should specify that you must be a current GNPA member to participate. The article must also include a link to the registration page for your event, which must be set up by the Program Committee member responsible for registration. A working registration page is required before the article can be published.
Here is a checklist for articles:
You must submit the article two weeks before it needs to appear on the blog or in an email blast to members.
