1. Paper
dolls may be done in the medium of your choice. Please send
clean art: use a light box to do final inking or drawing, remove
or white-out paste-up lines, and use clear, neat hand lettering
or computer lettering.
2. 8 1/2
x 11 format required. Please fit your paper doll on ONE or TWO
pages. Most likely only ONE page will be shown, so please keep
that in mind when designing your paper doll. Be aware that we
may change your layout to suit the space in an issue.
3. Do not
fold! Please send flat.
4. Sign
your first and last name on your art, and put your name and
address on the back (make sure the ink doesn’t show through
to the front). Include email and web address if desired. If
your work is for sale, please include price and shipping information.
5. There
is no jurying of any kind, although we may limit the number
of items shown. We will consider showing celebrity paper dolls
as editorial content for theme art and showcase, however, OPDAG
recommends the artist secure rights before offering the work
for sale.
7. If you
have background information or a story relating to your paper
doll, you’re welcome to include it in a separate letter
for our Artists Talk
8. Full
color submissions may appear in our full-color section or elsewhere
as black & white halftone.
All artwork
submitted will be kept by OPDAG unless return postage and packaging
is provided. Artists must accept full responsibility for copyright
of images depicted in their paper doll art. OPDAG assumes no
responsibility.

We really
hate to see our members spend extra money to send their work
via overnight delivery to meet a deadline, so please note that
there is a grace period following each deadline. So if artwork
comes in a little late, most likely we can still include it
in the publication
e-mailing
digital files for theme art:
Scan pages
at full size (8.5 x 11), 300 dpi, and save as jpg.
Send to info@opdag.com.
Email is
a risky way to send art because of all the glitches that can
happen, so it is very important that you receive an email
confirmation from Jenny personally when sending artwork this
way.
