About Mac Chick of the Month

We launched the Mac Chick of the Month feature in October of 2006 and it has quickly become one of the Mac Community’s most anticipated events. Each month we showcase a different Mac-loving female and their Apple gear. The three main requirements for submitting are that you 1) are female, 2) are 18 years of age or older, and 3) really ARE a Mac Chick (meaning you own and use Apple gear. iPods and iPhones are welcome, but a Mac of some sort is mandatory). Months are doled out on a first-come, first-serve basis, so get your entry is ASAP!

Submissions

• BIO Info

When submitting your entry for Mac Chick of the Month, we ask you include a brief 1 to 2 paragraph biography blurb about yourself, and about your love of Apple gear. Additionally, please include any links to web sites or projects you would like to promote, and include the answers to as many of the following biography questions as you feel comfortable with:

• Name (can be just first name or nickname)
• Age
• Location (can be vague)
• Occupation
• First Apple product you bought
• Favorite Apple Gear
• Favorite non-Apple Gear
• Favorite TV Shows
• Favorite Movies
• Favorite Bands
• Hobbies
• Pets
• Web site(s)

Use one of the current pages as a template.

Again, please only give as much personal info as you are comfortable with. If you are not a “public” person, you WILL be. So do not give your full name or town unless you feel that info is already out there, and/or don’t care.

• Photos

Additionally, we are looking for about 5 or 6 good shots to use. These can be a combination of shots of you with and without your Apple gear..ie. shots you feel give a good sense of your personality. We ask that you send the Mac shots at as high a resolution as possible, as we like to put out a desktop wallpaper each month for downloading.

While sexy “Maxim-esque” shots would be appreciated and likely work wonders for both OUR site as well as garner more exposure for YOU on the web, if you don’t have any or aren’t comfortable with that, that’s cool. But we DO want you to look your best. While we’d like to use 5 or 6 shots, please send as many as you’d like, it’s always better to have options. No nudity, please. This is a PG-13 site.

All submissions are reviewed by our esteemed panel of judges. In general, the main reason for being turned down for MCotM is the poor quality of the photos being submitted. We often receive dark, grainy, and/or low resolution shots, and we will not run these. We suggest you use a good-quality digital camera with appropriate lighting (daylight is often best). If you know a friend who is a photographer or took a photography class and owns a nice camera we suggest enlisting his/her help. Setting up a $300 digital still camera on your dresser and taking a picture with pretty much only the flash as illumination will not give you very flattering results.

Thank you for considering the MCotM feature! We look forward to receiving your entry!

Thanks.

Pseudo legal mumbo jumbo

We will only publish biographical info of your choosing. For instance, if you wish to be known only as “Jane” from California, and not “23 year-old Jane Smith of Fresno California”, that’s fine by us. If you are not using the feature to promote your web site or other public projects, this is likely a good idea. Additionally, our Mac Chick articles often get picked up by other sites across the internet, and we have no control over the contents or comments on their sites (although they are widely favorable!).
