El Paso Scene Press Release Form
This is a standard press release form for individuals or organizations who want to submit an item to El Paso Scene monthly magazine. Items for the online edition, as well as the El Paso Scene weekly email newsletter and various other calendars produced by El Paso Scene, are taken from the monthly print version. (So if you send us an item, please don't expect to see it on the website until after the next month's issue comes out.) There is no charge for news items. All items will be edited for style, brevity and suitability. Deadlines and
tips on how to fill out this form
are listed below.
DON'T FORGET TO USE THE "SUBMIT" BUTTON AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FORM. ALSO: YOU MUST INCLUDE A VALID EMAIL ADDRESS IN THE EMAIL FIELD -- OTHERWISE WE WILL NOT RECEIVE THIS FORM.
When you submit this form correctly, you will get a confirmation on your browser window PLUS a confirmation email. This is a confirmation that the press release has been sent to us. We offer no guarantees on what we will publish because we get a lot of items for events and non-events that don't fit our policy guidelines. If you aren't sure if an item is suitable for the Scene. send it anyway and we'll give it full consideration. For other questions, email us at news@epscene.com
