CMA Music Festival - Content Submission form

Would you like to help me cover the CMA Music Festival? If so, check out the requirements to write for the site.

  • All work must be emailed to me by June 15, 2006. It must be submitted as a .txt file, or you can just type it into an email, if you prefer. If you're submitting more than one recap, please use separate emails if you are sending them to me in the email itself.
  • All photos must be emailed to me as soon as possible, no later than June 13, 2006. If you want to meet up sometime during CMA Music Festival week, let me know and I'll see what we can do. I will have my computer with me, so if you want to put your pictures on a disc to give to me, that works too.
  • Each fan club recap must include date, time and place of the party. Plus a minimum of 3 paragraphs describing what happened at the party. Plus, I'll need at least 3 photos to go with the recap. I would like 5, if possible. No more than 12.
  • If you'd like to review one or more of the shows at the Riverfront Stages, I'd like a description of the show, and the day. I would *prefer* a full set-list, but if you don't know all the songs, you can mention some of them in your review. See my review of Riverfront shows last year.
  • If you'd like to cover another event, such as something in the Sports zone, or Family zone, that's cool too.
  • I'm also accepting photos from any event. No more than 12 of each event. I have to limit myself on pictures as it's really time consuming to set up photo galleries for each event, and link them back to the story that goes with them. If you're not submitting a story to go with the event, the pictures will be set up in a photo gallery of that event. Photo gallery pages hold up to 12 photos. I need a minimum of 3 photos to create a gallery, so I would need that many on any one topic.
  • Unfortunately, I cannot pay anyone to write for the site. You will have your own by-line on your article, and © on your photos, and you can tell everyone you wrote for a company owned by the New York Times. Yes, we are owned by the New York Times. That's not a joke. Also, we get a good amount of traffic, so a lot of people will see your work. :)
If you can meet the requirements, please fill out the form below and tell me what event or events you would like to cover.

View some samples below of the type of recaps we are looking for.

There are many more that are just as good, but I just wanted to share some samples to show you that I don't need a book or a million pictures. I just need to have everything to me on time.

If you can do that.. or know someone else who might be interested, forward this url to them for more information, but don't post the url on any message boards as I want to be careful who see's this.

Also, if you are a bad speller or have awful grammar, I probably can't use the work, unless it's just pictures. Because of the immense time involved on getting all the content ready in under 7 days time, I have to have work that is pretty much good to go, that I don't have to totally re-write so that it makes sense. ;)
