Art Guidelines and Submissions Guidelines for submissions:
1. Be sure to have filled the sign-up form before you submit. 2. Subject matter is your choice, so long as it stays within the theme of the Paper Mario series, i.e. games with Paper Mario in the title. It can be a single character, a group, a location, an event, an abstraction, anything! Please keep it PG-13 or lower. Works that are outright pornographic, extremely violent, or otherwise offensive or controversial will not be allowed. AI-generated art will result in being banned from the project. 3. Size ratio can be your choice, so long as the art is vectorized in a .pdf or .psd format and can be upscaled/downscaled without losing quality. Maximum size is 10000x10000 pixels. The resolution should be 300 dpi or higher. 4. Writings should be submitted as pdf and be able to be copied and formatted. Word limit is 7k. 5. Animation/Videos must be H.264 compliant, such as .mp4 and .mov. The runtime limit is 5 minutes. 6. Audio must be submitted in .mp3 or .wav format. The runtime limit is 5 minutes. 7. 3D projects must be submitted in U3D 3rd Edition or PRC format, or created in a pdf first then sent to the director for accurate lighting. If the pdf doesn’t accept your project, screenshots are a valid option, with a maximum of 10 pictures in .pdf or .psd format. 8. Please submit files directly to papermariozine@gmail.com, along with your chosen name/handle and up to 3 links to your blog/portfolio/webcomic/etc (up to 140 characters). These links will be displayed to the public, be sure you want to share them. Include a square icon that can be used to represent you. Maximum size of 1000x1000 pixels. Please do not use stolen art; if you cannot provide an icon, you may ask for assistance through the zine’s director or the zine’s Discord. 9.

All art belongs to you first and foremost and this zine claims no ownership of it. If you wish to post it, please wait until the zine is released and the director has given the go-ahead. Linking back to the zine would be much appreciated as well!
Thank you so much for all your hard work! :)
