Alpha Magazine! The YFCI Member Magazine
Submission Guidelines
For Members only - We ask for country reports and articles from interested members. Their contribution to the magazine, in a way, shows their commitment to the YFCI goals and makes them eligible for ambassadorship. We ask that all ambassadors write atleast one article, with one being a country report.
Country report might be in the form of a report or article describing particular aspects of one's country, for example:-
Education System
Economic Situation
Culture
Youth Empowerment and activities
Millennium development goals
War and Conflict
Governance
Human Rights
Health
Environment Conservation
Religious Fundamentalism and Extremism
The above topics are not exhaustive and the members can write about country specific problems and activities which they want to share with other members.
The most well researched article will be put up on the “Featured Article” section.
Members can also send in their resume and a brief one page write up about themselves or any other member they wish to nominate for the position of “Featured Member”. A member with an impressive record in community building and development activities or personal achievements will be selected for the position.
Special Note - In case you are not a member, but still wish to submit a report on your country; even then your submissions are welcome, we encourage you to join us anyway. You may click here to join us. We appreciate your commitment
For members & non-members alike - If you have an imaginative bend of mind, then you can all pen down poetry, short stories, haikus or articles for the magazine. All articles/reports/sumaries should be from 100-900 words, and poems should be 5-30 words. As for Haikus and other syllable/word specified poems, make sure you follow the syllable/word rules for that certain form of poetry.
Art & Photography (for both members & non-members): You can also send your paintings. The only requirement is that the topic should be keeping in terms with YFCI magazine frame. For photos, please submit them pre-sized. There is no exact guideline for the number of pixels, but please have them medium-sized.
We also encourage budding photographers to submit their photos. We are looking for interesting clips which capture something unique about their respective countries, or hightlight a specific issue. It could be anything from traditional dance, nature, people celebrating a festival, or issues like poverty, war, drugs, etc.
Come up with something exciting! Thank you for considering being part of Alpha! Magazine.
