About

SHOTS Magazine is a beautifully printed black & white quarterly in world gone digital, not an on-line publication.
An independent, reader-supported journal of eclectic fine art photography now in its 34th year of publication, SHOTS is known for its democratic presentation of work by a variety of photographers from around the world and reaches a wide, international audience that includes not only emerging and established photographers, but also educators, galleries, museums, collectors and other fine art photography enthusiasts.
Each issue has a theme. Photographers submit images that relate to that theme and the photos chosen will be published in the next issue. Each new issue will announce the next theme and deadline. Image selections are completely democratic in that you don't have to be a well known name to get in. If we like your image and it fits the theme you may get published.

Fees Notice: This project charges fees (or requires purchases) for all submissions, except for subscribers, and they do not offer monetary payment for accepted submissions. (Note: About 8% of magazines always charge fees.)
The fee is USD $25 (above average for magazines that charge).
