Please note before you submit that we only accept exclusive content.  If we find your editorial in another magazine, on social media, online, or blog, we will cut it from the issue.

Additionally, OBVIOUS Magazine can only accept submissions from the photographer. The only time we can make an exception if a) you have a letter of permission from the photographer b) you have proof that you own the copyright to the images.

Requirements for submissions:

OBVIOUS publishes bi-monthly issues releasing in January/February, March/April, May/June, July/August, September/October and November/December. Our issues have themes and want submissions that are in season for the issue.

Submit your editorial as ONE high res PDF, including all images from the editorial, wardrobe credits, and team credits. (Here’s an example layout). Make sure all of the wardrobe and team credits are accurate. We do not like to do retractions. Please email all submissions to [email protected] in PDF form.

Editorial submissions are required to have a minimum of 8 looks.  Additionally, we do not accept “stylist’s own” for wardrobe credits. Keep that in mind. We want to know the label no matter what, regardless if it belongs to the stylist or is vintage! Same goes for beauty submissions and makeup labels.
