YOUR
CORNWALL

Could your photograph be our next cover?

OUR FIRST COVERS.
COULD YOURS BE NEXT?

Cornwall never looks exactly the same twice. Changing seasons, dramatic skies, hidden coves, open moorland, countryside, harbours and villages give us an extraordinary landscape to photograph. Now we want to see Cornwall through your eyes.

The Cornish Local is inviting photographers to submit original portrait photographs of the Cornish landscape for consideration for our future magazine covers. You don’t need to be a professional photographer. What matters to us is the photograph, the place and the moment you captured and the essence of Cornwall.

YOUR PHOTO. OUR COVER.

For every issue of The Cornish Local Magazine we will select from the photographs submitted to us for our covers. With more than 20,000 copies of the magazine distributed free across Cornwall, your photograph could become the image thousands of people associate with that edition.

Drag & Drop Files, Choose Files to Upload You can upload up to 2 files.
Please send us the highest-resolution version of your photograph. As selected images may be used for The Cornish Local magazine cover or our annual calendar, photographs need to be suitable for high-quality print. We recommend JPG or JPEG files, ideally 300 dpi and at least 3000 pixels on the shortest side. Please upload the original/full-size image rather than a compressed version from social media or messaging apps. Portrait images are preferred for magazine covers (landscape is ok if image is large enough), although we welcome landscape photographs for the calendar and online gallery too. Not sure if your image is large enough? Send us the best-quality version you have — we can check it for you.
