The Reader's Gallery must have been at least 90% digitally shot/printed of late.

This discussion is on APUG, understood but BWP magazine never claimed they would discriminate between purely analogue, digital and hybrid work did they? I happen to be a film user and the digital technique artices aren't of interest to me but I'll happily skip those for the other content, both how-to stuff and portfolios. Most times you cannot tell in the magazine reproduction whether the shot involved digital work or not (that's presumably why they have a little note on what DSLR was used - as if it mattered).
As for the readers gallery I'm guesing the analogue/digital published ratio probably reflects quite closely the submitted ratio.

Out of interest, who HAS submitted photos to B&W?
I have.

[Paul.A]

Yes I have.

[ooze]

I also have 4 or 5 years ago...and was rejected

[Akki14]

I just have... sent last Friday. I'm hoping they'll get into the magazine. I think cyanotypes should freak out the public a little

[Shiny]

I have too, 'bout three or four months ago.

[thomsonrc]

I sent some prints about 6 weeks ago. Does anyone know how long it takes to receive the rejection?

Ritchie, you are being negative it should be, 'to recieve the acceptance'.

It could takes some months before you hear anything.

I didn't submit prints, but I did submit my website probably a year or so ago, just as a lark. Imagine my surprise when I started getting e-mails from Europe complimenting me on my site. Turns out I am Website of the Month in the July issue. I had no idea when I started getting the e-mails, since we just recently got the July issue here in the states.
Pretty cool.

They published three photographs out of probably a dozen I sent. It was the December 2003 issue/#28. It was stuff I shot there while in London on a few visits between 1987 - 1990. Mostly street shots and some on the subway or 'Tube'. I sent 11x14s I printed on Oriental Seagull - very good reproduction. I had a few back and forth international phone conversations with the Features Editor, Tracy Hallett and her assistant leading up to and after publication. I didn't have access to email then. I remember them being very professional and enthusiastic in their work. I don't recall the time span between submission of prints and the phone call informing me they were going to publish a few. I think I was eventually paid something around $200 and the photos were returned intact.
