Call for Articles and Photos for New Emanate Magazine!

Thanks to great contribution of  EMA members, Emanate magazine has become a very successuful visual product of the Association. In order to give you, dear EMA members, more chances to express yourself, the Emanate magazine will now have two issues per year: in late autumn and in spring.

The Theme: "Solving Conflicts …. Let's Talk!"
We are facing conflicts everywhere around us - from personal to societal and global conflicts in areas as diverse as emotions, gender, equality, ethnicity, relationships, religion, culture, politics, economy, entertainment, science, healthcare, sports, climate, media, poverty, environment and other ... What can we do to solve them? Write about issues close to your heart or from your field of study and make yourself heard through Emanate!
As different as the realms in which conflicts seem to increasingly play a role, as interested are we to read your creative interpretations of the topic. Suggestive and objective articles that point out your opinion are as welcome as
 
Guidelines and Requirements
If you would like to see your thoughts on this topic to be published in our magazine, please send your article to magazine AT em-a.eu before September 20, 2009.
Submitted articles should

• be creative, ambitious, expressive.
• include a heading and briefly outline the content at the beginning.
• be between 500 and 1,000 words in length - longer articles, if selected, will be shortened.
• be interesting for all of the EMA community - Emanate is not an academic journal and while contributions from your field of study are welcome, articles should also be accessible for non-expert readers.
• have in-text citations and references - the format of the magazine does not allow for bibliographies or footnotes.
• indicate your full name, study years, nationality and Erasmus Mundus Master Course.

You may also submit photos to illustrate your article, but please make sure that you own the rights of the pictures! Photos used for illustrations do not automatically take part in the photo competition. If you would like to participate, please make sure to submit your photo according to the guidelines stated below. 

Photo Competition
We also encourage you to send your photos reflecting your understanding of solving conflicts to participate in the photo competition.
The photo should

• have a resolution of 4 megapixels and higher - if there are problems with sending such a large file by email, you are welcome to submit a smaller preview. However, your photo must be available in high quality.
• be taken by the person who is submitting it.
• be accompanied by your full name, nationality, master course, and 2 or 3 lines explaining how your photograph illustrates the theme "Solving Conflicts .... Let's Talk".
• not be one of several - only one photo per participant is allowed for submission.

Please note that you should hold all rights related to the photo - which is usually the case when you are the photographer. However, publication of photos of other persons or small groups require the consent of those portraited. It is your responsibility that your picture does not bear any legal infringements - please make sure of that when you submit your photograph.
The winner, chosen by EMA community, will be awarded with a nice prize.
 
Imagine a world without conflicts. Lets talk!
