Photographers: We want to see Iowa through your very unique lens. Show us Iowa’s places and people, activities and moments — but in ways we haven’t before seen. Surprise us. Iowa is a dynamic place, and we’ve witnessed both subtle and dramatic changes in the state’s communities, economies, landscapes, and even mindsets. While many young Iowans continue to leave the state, more and more are returning — or choosing to stay — to become our newest subscribers and to build a life in Iowa. What does this life look like today? We plan to show readers in the pages of The Iowan.

Moving forward, The Iowan will occasionally devote Portfolio to the work of an individual photographer. Selections have been made for 2010, but we welcome themed submissions at any time for future spotlights. Such submitted images should not have been previously published or submitted for publication elsewhere.

Our May/June and July/August issues are open calls for stock
portraying the following themes:

Portfolio

May/June: Playtime!
Mountains schmountains. Oceans schmoceans. Iowa offers a bounty of outdoor recreational opportunities. Hiking, biking, kayaking, sailing, bird watching, bug catching, horseback riding, fishing, ice skating, sledding, broomballing, snowshoeing. Show us not only the Iowa’s scenery but also Iowans enjoying it.
SUBMISSION DEADLINE FEBRUARY 15, 2010

July/August: Red. White. Blue.
Beyond the traditional stars and stripes, our summer issue showcases all of Iowa’s reds, whites, and blues. Red fire engines, white-clothes tabletops, blue ribbons. Red poppies against a brilliant blue sky, blue feathers peeking out of white star magnolias, white ice cream topped with red cherries. Be a purist or mix and match.
SUBMISSION DEADLINE APRIL 23, 2010

Throughout the editorial year, The Iowan will have additional
stock photography needs:

Polishers
The Iowan’s various departments, special sections, and even features are occasionally in need of additional enhancement. On an as-needed basis, the Art Director will issue a very specific call for stock. Contact Bobbie Russie to be added to this email list, artdirector@iowan.com.

Short Stories
Images sometimes speak louder than words. We welcome content ideas from photographers who have a powerful image or collection of images that tell a good story. The Iowan accepts such submissions throughout the year.


Please direct all submissions and questions to Art Director Bobbie Russie, artdirector@iowan.com.
