^{While we and other publications strongly advise working with professional photographers, there are situations when it may be beyond your ability to pay for it. Therefore, as we promote our magazine to our thousands of subscribers, we at Street Cars 101 Magazine welcome images from all sources, but we do have requirements to ensure the best quality is presented in our magazine, both print and digital. Only PNG, TIFF, and JPEG raw files will be accepted! This guarantees we’ll post the highest-quality images. Why not just use standard JPEGS, which is what most phones and cameras come with by default? Images in regular JPEGs lose quality. This deterioration is irreversible, cumulative, and permanent. Photos that appear blurry and amateurish may be the outcome. Image quality matters to a magazine, but file size is not essential.}

_{^{The thing about being featured in any magazine is learning how to submit the right content with the right high-quality images. Here at Street Cars 101 Magazine, we are a good magazine for individuals to learn the process. Not only do you get the opportunity to have an entire magazine dedicated to you and your vehicle, but becoming part of the published family gives you access to our friends in major magazines who are also part of the published family. Once you are submitted to our magazine, unlike others, we use you as a reference for being published in others. You will learn what types of photos are accepted, what type of information you need to submit, how to market your magazine feature at car shows and events, and how to market it on your social media platforms. We want you to accomplish your goals and enjoy the experience of what true media and magazine outlets are supposed to offer, not just write you a great article and call ourselves doing you a favor.}}

-You can submit through our submission form for free. It is the same form used in every submission, except you join the long line of individuals waiting to be chosen.

-You can purchase one of our tiers that can push your submission to the top of our stacks of submission forms.

-Hire one of our affiliated photographers, who we trust and know will deliver the best submission that fits our criteria

We receive around 30–50 submissions per week and will only feature one per week, so submissions can pile up quickly!

^{Being published in Street Cars 101 Magazine is easy and will get you the exposure you want to have for your vehicle. We are currently the only magazine that releases digital and print issues across many major retail stores online. Also, the only magazine that dedicates a whole issue to one person, club, group, or couple guarantees that you get the cover and the attention only. We will explain club, group, and couple submissions in another video. This is for vehicle submissions only.}

^{We do not recommend this way but we understand. Even though smartphones have advanced, it is still noticeably different from hiring a professional based on image quality when enlarged for print. Still we understand and we do not rule it out, but we are very picky. Tips to help you get the best results}
