Collaboration Program; In order to keep our content as vibrant as possible we want input and contributions from as many and diverse a group of people in the industry as possible. To this end we created the Collaboration Program, through which we set up a winwin relationship with anyone contributing and collaborating in creating the magazine on any level, from content to creative. “Collaborations” are intended to invite the readers and users of MakersNews to take part, contribute and exploit the opportunities in MakersNews, to further their own marketing aims and disseminate information in the industry. The “Collaboration Program” of MakersNews is an “Open-source style content submission” plan. Where in a true “Open Source” collaboration, copyright are made general available for modification and becomes common property, with the "Collaboration Project" copyright and acknowledgments of the author remains intact. We open the doors to any input on any level of the publication,i.e. content [columns and articles], creative [photography, graphic elements and layout input] etc. We want to allow the creative community to not only find benefit in reading the publication, but also to contribute to MakersNews to keep it informative, dynamic and creative. We will commission content from Collaborators, but also welcome unsolicited content and collaboration. MakersNews magazine reserves the right to edit, revise, or to reject, even after acceptance for publication, any advertisement or content submitted, commissioned or unsolicited, to suite the issue, themes layout and other content. Content deemed to be untruthful or objectionable in subject matter or wording, or unsuitable for any other reason, i.e. Copyright, whether space for the content or advertisement has been booked in advance under order or not, will not be published.
