Submission Guidelines
We welcome submissions by artists interested in contributing scrapbook art to Cantata Books Inc. The best way to submit your artwork for consideration is by following the directions on our "get published" page.

Compensation Guidelines
Cantata Books Inc. is currently working with established scrapbook artists on upcoming projects. We look forward to identifying and growing relationships with creative and original scrapbookers. We are also privileged to offer previously unpublished artists, or those who are building their creative portfolios, the opportunity to be published in Cantata books. Their artwork will inspire other scrapbookers around the world.

Cantata works with both professional and up-and-coming artists in a variety of ways. The two most common are:

1) Works for hire: Artists are contacted and commissioned to create artwork specifically for Cantata Books following exact guidelines. Cantata may supply these artists with photos to use on the scrapbook art. This artwork becomes the property of Cantata Books Inc. Artists are paid $50 per single scrapbook page under the works for hire contract. Cantata will also make a contribution to charity for each page featured in our books. Artists receive tear sheets from books in which their artwork appears.

2) Contributing artist: Artists submit previously created (but previously unpublished) artwork to Cantata Books Inc. This artwork may be submitted in response to a call for art on our web site or through another on-line site. If selected for publication, the artist agrees to allow Cantata Books Inc. the exclusive right to utilize the artwork in books, compilations and other products. The artist receives credit for her artwork. As compensation, Cantata Books Inc. sends the artist a copy of the book in which the artwork is featured and returns the artwork to the artist. Cantata will alsomake a contribution to charity for each page featured in our books.

Editorial Guidelines
Cantata Books Inc. publishes only scrapbook art that has not been published previously in whole or in part in any forum (this does not include postings on submission sites such as scrapsubmit).

Artwork that appears in Cantata books may not be published in any place at any time after being featured in a Cantata book.

Cantata Books is seeking pages with outstanding photos which are beautifully composed, in focus, and visually compelling.

Journaling appearing on scrapbook pages must be original-no poetry or song lyrics.
Model releases are necessary for all images appearing on scrapbook pages.
