COMMUNITY SUBMISSIONS GUIDELINES: The Community column runs Sundays in the Living section and accepts submissions for news of events that have taken place with civic, philanthropic, social and religious auxiliary organizations, as well as academic honors. Submissions should be sent by noon Monday to run in the upcoming Sunday column. Because of space limitations, organizations are limited to one photo per month. If submitting digitally, we prefer JPG files 300KB or larger. Photographs that do not meet our size guidelines, are of poor quality or are AI generated or edited will be rejected.
We prefer emailed Community column submissions to features@theadvocate.com. We also accept submissions by mail at P.O. Box 588, Baton Rouge LA 70821. A phone number must be included. Note: If planning to submit a photo of a group, have them stand or sit shoulder-to-shoulder. If more than six people are in the photo, arrange them on multiple, distinct rows. Avoid strong background light sources. Identify those pictured by first and last names as viewed from left to right, row by row.
