The Garden City News is pleased to provide space for news about all of the teams in the Village. Our sports section has grown dramatically in the last few years, so we would like to ask those submitting materials to help us by adhering to the following guidelines:

Photos take up a lot of room, so we are asking coaches to help share the space. Please limit the number of photos sent each week to five or six for ordinary games. For larger events, such as multi-game tournaments feel free to send additional photos if needed.

Please rotate which children are featured in photos, so that all the children have a chance to be seen.

All photos must have captions. We strongly prefer photos that have the names of the children in the captions.

Please write the captions separately (not on the backs of the photos), numbered to correspond to each photo. Please print or type all names.

Materials may be either sent to our offices at 821 Franklin Avenue or submitted by email to editor@gcnews.com . Please do not submit duplicate copies of the item! Please take note of the electronic submission guidelines for photos below.

Please submit all parts of the item together and at the same time. When part of an item is emailed and another part is delivered to our offices, they may not get printed together in the paper. Similarly, if more than one parent sends in photos of the same game, it becomes cumbersome for us to remember which items go together.

Electronic submission guidelines for photos: Photos should be sent as .jpg or .tif files, and should be separate attachments, not embedded within another document.

Digital photos should be about 175 dpi, and should be about six inches wide.

We cannot presently handle emails that are more than about ten megabytes in size. If you are sending many photos (more than six or so) please either use Zip compression software or send the photos in several batches. If you send an email that is so large that our Internet service provider can’t handle it, we won’t get it and you may not receive a “bounce” message.
