SUBMISSIONS

Boulder County Kids is a quarterly guide for children and families. Based in Boulder, Colorado, we provide informative articles for the whole family including columns on our environment, education, healthy recipes, sports and self-esteem and an advice column. We have directories of camps, preschools/private schools, health care providers, and afterschool programs, a four-page calendar of events section, news about town and advertisers that cater to the family. We distribute in Boulder County along with Broomfield, and Westminster along with points in Denver and Estes Park covering many topics locally and statewide.

ARTICLES

Boulder County Kids encourages your submission of articles, photographs and ideas. We do favor articles from local writers and experts. Boulder County Kids format is resource oriented and we look for articles that are a gift of information for the public. Since we have limited space we do not do articles about businesses but rather a focus on resources and information.

Although we do not pay for articles, please feel free to add a paragraph at the end of the article promoting the writer or organization along with phone numbers, e-mail addresses and website information.

Please send your article as a text or .doc file and send photographs and/or graphics as attachments in TIFF, GIF, PDF, EPS or JPG formats. We can not work with Publisher files.

• We reserve the right to edit all submitted material.
• All submissions will be considered for publication.

We do encourage you to call us in advance of your submission if you have any questions. We do book up on article space months in advance and appreciate your calls. We receive hundreds of submissions a year nationwide and again, we do favor local writers. Please call Jennifer Martin at (303) 939-8767 if you have a potential article.

MEDICAL/HEALTH articles. Please do include references when you can. Areas of health and well-being are very important and we want to make sure we have articles that are documented with studies and reference materials. We do not do informerical articles on businesses and we are much more critical on health-related issues. Please be prepared to back-up your statements. We are happy to list bibliography and references and encourage suggested readings.

COVER ART

We are always looking for covers for our issues from children who are from Boulder County. Boulder Valley Credit Union is our cover sponsor and will exhibit the artwork for three months. The artist will also receive a check for $50 presented in their school class room. We look for brightly colored pieces that will reproduce well.

TIPS:

Portraits work well many times. Vertical formats fit the shape of our paper best. Please email your artwork to Jennifer at for consideration.

Mailed originals may not be returned.

Artists work chosen for a cover will have their work displayed at the Boulder Valley Credit Union on 55th & Arapahoe in Boulder for the issue's three month period. The artist will receive a PICTURE PERFECT award presented in their school.

Artists chosen will also receive a free scheduled photo shoot with Raye Harris Photography in Erie.
