Advertising in our magazine, “16mm Today”
Our magazine, “16mm Today”, is typically 72 pages in length, of which 12 or so pages comprise advertisements placed by 16mm traders and organisers of 16mm events. Any new trader or event organiser who wishes to open an account should first contact the treasurer, Phil Thompson, at treasurer@16mm.org.uk to provide details of trading name, name of proprietor, contact address and contact telephone number.
“16mm Today” is published quarterly, normally around the middle of May, August and November and towards the end of February. Traders and event organisers need to prepare their advertisements by the following deadlines:
-
For the May issue, by 1 April.
-
For the August issue, by 1 July.
-
For the November issue, by 1 October.
-
For the February issue, by 1 January.
Advertisements should be sent direct to Donna Torres, who prepares all advertising artwork on our behalf:
-
Email for electronic copies of your advertisement: send to Donna on mac0511@yahoo.co.uk . Please also send a copy to treasurer@16mm.org.uk
-
Surface mail: Donna Torres, 10 Dee Court, Oakworth, Keighley, BD22 7RS. Please also send a copy to the 16mm Association treasurer, Phil Thompson, at 115a Church Street, Ecclesfield, Sheffield, S35 9WF.
When contacting Donna for the first time, please give her both your email address and a surface mail contact address and let her know whether you have already informed the treasurer of your intention to advertise.
The best electronic format to use for your advertisement is a high-resolution PDF, with all fonts and pictures embedded. If you cannot use this, then Word is the preferred format for text, with any original pictures or diagrams either sent by surface mail or sent electronically in jpg, tiff or eps format. Please also send a hard copy of your proposed advertisement by surface mail or email a copy in PDF format.
Either Donna or the 16mm Association treasurer will acknowledge receipt of all advertisements submitted by email and Donna will send you a digital colour proof for you to check before publication. Please send any final changes by email or surface mail, since telephoned changes can be misunderstood.
