Submission Guidelines
How to participate in ALFEW
If you are an artist or a photographer and would like to participate in this little endeavour, just shoot me an email wezel2@gmail.com, or respond to this piece in the Comments section.
There do not seem to be many places on Medium where people can “display” their work. That seems a pity.
So, for fun, I created this publication. I thought we could have a virtual art show here.
How To Submit Your Art
As most of you know, Medium is primarily a written word place. So how will we deal with artwork — not articles?
Easy-Peasy.
You will need to be a Medium member, once you are a member, submit an email request to wezel2@gmail.com be added as a writer to ALFEW, or respond to our article “Submission Guidelines” then:
- Choose all the photos/drawings/paintings you wish to submit (These must be your own photographs, and/or images of your own artwork)
Write a short description of the work or works you are submitting and the medium (Watercolour/oil/acrylic/sketch/sculpture/photographs). Max words 150
Example: This is a collection of images I took while visiting various locations in Italy.
2. Give your submission a title. (e.g. My summer in Portugal, The Rocks of Gibralter, Ink drawings, Abstracts in Oil, etc.)
3. Title each work (the title space appears under each image) and give a brief description of the image.
Example:
Please do not add any other text between the images.
People should be able to scroll through the images, just as if they were walking through an art show. If you do not want your images to be crammed together, insert one of these text divider markers:
If you have additional information you would like to include about your submission, or a bio of yourself, do this at the end of your images. No limit on words for this end piece.

Have fun with this.
NOTE TO ALL — this publication is not working properly right now because Medium is messing with the code. Please bear with us. You can submit and we can publish, but the Feature pages do not work right. Working on it ;-)
