Featured Art Submissions

Each month, Parachutist showcases artwork along a skydiving theme in the In Your Words section of the magazine. We accept paintings, drawings, sculptures, jewelry and other visual arts as submissions for publications.

To submit your artwork, please send a photo of the piece via the form below or to communications@uspa.org using the following guidelines:

  • Photos should be high-resolution, at least 400 ppi (pixels per inch) and no smaller than five by seven inches (2,000 by 2,800 pixels). Generally, this means the photo must be 500 KB or larger.
  • Please include your full name and license number, the artist’s full name and license number (if not yourself), the title of the artwork, the medium of the artwork (oil, watercolor, etc.) and the artist’s website or email address (optional).
  • Photos of artwork must arrive at least 45 days in advance of the cover date of the issue in which it will be used. Artwork is kept under consideration for 12 months after submission.
  • Photos of artwork should be exclusive to Parachutist for North American skydiving print publications.
  • Submissions are accepted with the understanding that the person submitting them has the right to publish the contents of the submission. The person submitting the material assumes all liability for content, as well as assuming responsibility for any claims arising therefrom and/or made against the Publisher.
  • The Parachutist staff reserves the right to post the submitted material on USPA's website as well as redistribute the material in its final, laid-out form for reprint requests.

Questions about the submissions process may be addressed to communications@uspa.org  or (540) 604-9740.
