July 19, 2014 The Polymer Arts magazine news

It’s time for us to start planning our issues for 2015!

This year we thought we’d get YOUR input on what type of articles you’d like us to research and write for you. You can contribute by giving us a theme word or phrase, describe a concept, or just tell us what kind of subjects you’d like us to cover.  Any ideas that describe or even just lead us to a theme idea will be eligible to win a little something to show our gratitude. We’ve set aside (4) $20 Gift Certificates to The Polymer Arts to award to the readers with the winning themes/concepts, or in the case of multiple similar suggestions, to award to four people based on a random drawing. All you need to do is contact us at connect@thepolymerarts.com  with your ideas. Here’s how we usually determine a good possible theme:

• Themes should address design concepts, issues, and/or trends in the polymer community.
• The single word or phrases we use for themes enable us to encompass any number of broad possible ideas that we can base articles around. For instance, the present issue’s theme “Light” encompasses such topics as illuminating light, light weight or visual light effects like shiny or reflective.
• Suggestions can even be previous themes, but with suggestions on how we could look at the theme differently or add other types of articles to it.

If you can, please explain a little about the theme or concepts that you are suggesting and why you think they would be a good idea. Any article suggestions are welcome! So, get any and all your ideas in by the end of the day on July 27th for a chance to shape the subjects you’ll get to read about in 2015, as well as having a chance to win a $20 Gift Certificate!
