PRESENTATIONS & CELEBRATIONS IMAGES
The Queen’s Awards magazine is the only publication working together with The Queen’s Awards O ce to publicise and promote the Awards themselves and The Queen’s Awards Winners each year. We welcome submissions of Winners presentation photographs throughout the year for publication in the subsequent edition, and on our website www.queensawardsmagazine.com. These should be emailed to production@queensawardsmagazine.com together with a suitable caption describing the event, and clearly naming the people pictured. A press release produced at the time would also normally be suitable guidance for captioning. Please ensure that all images supplied respect the rights and wishes of the copyright holder, especially if these were taken by independent photographers or supplied to you by news media.
