If you have an idea for a feature article, send me or Gregg a PM and we will let you know if we can use your idea. If so, we will let you know all the details regarding what we need from you.
As far as the contest issue... you don't send us photos. You enter a contest, maybe your model is noticed and the person working the contest on behalf of Model Cars will photograph it. Then we get the photos from that particular contest sent to us and we decide which models make the contest issue.
PS: First things first. Full name in your signature is a forum rule.
