Submit Cardworthy Images

We release new card designs throughout the year, so always welcome new submissions. We love seeing the work of great photographers whose images fit the different looks and voices of our Passages and Little Reminders lines.

TO SUBMIT images for consideration, first look through our site and confirm that your style of photography really fits with what Cardthartic might publish (you might be surprised by how many water color paintings we receive!). If you can see your images in one of our lines, use the link below to email our Creative team a few images that will give us a sense of your style. If we believe it’s a match, we’ll set you up with a dropbox folder for your Cardthartic submissions.

We regularly review all our submissions and if/when we find the words that live up to one of your images, we will email you the proposed design and ask how you’d like your name to appear on the card back. In that same email, we’ll ask you to submit an invoice for the rights to publish your image and off to press it goes. Woohoo, you’ll be a Contributing Cardie!

CARDTHARTIC PAYS $250 per image for non-exclusive use on our cards and magnets — by “non-exclusive” we mean that we won’t limit you from selling the rights to that same image other places. That said, seeing it on another publisher’s cards would not be good for any of us, so we ask that you please keep that in mind.

We sincerely appreciate your interest in collaborating with us. Feel free to submit again and again as the spirit moves you. As our photographers will tell you, sometimes it takes months or even years for us to find the right words for a great image, but we keep looking!

We look forward to seeing your work!

Once you’re ready …
