For the 40th anniversary National Magazine Awards the NMAF is offering a special discount to freelance writers, photographers and illustrators who enter their own work for consideration.
The NMAF Freelancer Support Fund allows freelancers to submit their first two (2) entries at the discounted rate of $50 per submission.
The Freelancer Support Fund applies to entries for Writing and Visual Awards, for which there is a cash prize to the winning creator of $1000.
An eligible “Freelancer” is a person:
- who is not a staff member of a publication whose work they are submitting, and
- whose byline (as a writer, photographer or illustrator) appears on the work they are submitting.
When registering for the National Magazine Awards submissions process, all freelancers must register as an Individual (rather than a Magazine) submitter, in order to be eligible for the Freelancer Support Fund.
The Freelancer Support Fund applies to your first two entries. The regular rate of $95 will apply to any submission entered in addition to the first two.
The NMAF is a registered charity, so all fees paid for submissions are tax-deductible. There are more reasons than ever to enter your work for a National Magazine Award!
Submission open for the 40th anniversary National Magazine Awards on December 1.
Stay tuned for updates on this year’s new categories and judging procedures, to be announced soon.
