Submit an Article

SixPrizes.com is looking for article submissions. If you think you have some knowledge you could add to the site, give us a shout!

Please note: We can’t guarantee your article will make it to the front page, but at the very least you will have a great post you can add to the message boards.

Article Requirements

  1. Spell-check AND proofread your article THREE TIMES before submitting it. Articles that have any spelling and/or grammatical mistakes will not be published.

  2. There is no word count requirement for articles; we just ask that they are written coherently and cohesively.

  3. Please type any deck lists straight down the page; do not try to center your list as they appear on the site. We will format it for you.

  4. Capitalize all of the following terms:

    1. The word “Pokemon”
    2. Pokemon names
    3. Trainer cards
    4. Energy cards
    5. Attack names
    6. Poke-Powers and Poke-Bodies

  5. Attacks, Poke-Powers, and Poke-Bodies should also be placed within quotes

    1. For example, “Cosmic Power” or “Dragon Pump”.

  6. Please format the abbreviation for Level X cards as “LV.X” or “Lv.X” (not “LV. X” or “Lv. X”).

  7. Please use the term “prerelease” and do not format it as “pre-release” or “pre release”.

  8. Do not use tasteless slang or abbreviations in your article. You must project yourself as being a professional.

  9. Focus your discussion on the subjects within your article that you think are most interesting and relevant to our readers. Do not explain why you use cards like Claydol or Roseanne’s Research; no one wants to hear about that. Talk about the unique aspects of your subject matter.

  10. Please refrain from discussing deck matchups extensively in your article.

  11. At top very top of your submission, list which cards you would like pictures of to be placed within your work. We will insert the images for you.

  12. Good topics to write about include:

    1. Card of the Day
    2. Tournament Reports (please include a deck list or at least a description of your deck)
    3. Tips and Strategy
    4. Deck Analysis

  13. Failure to follow these guidelines will result in an unpublished article.

  14. Don’t worry if these instructions make it seem difficult to write an article; just put your mind to it, focus, envision yourself writing a great article, and I know you will be able to do it! :)

ALSO: You may include a brief background about yourself and a link to your website at the very beginning of the article, if you wish.

How to Submit Your Article

  1. Go to http://www.sixprizes.com/wp-admin/ and register your username and e-mail address. A password will be e-mailed to you enabling you to log in.

  2. Write your article! Log in to your account, click “Posts” on the left sidebar, then “Add New”, and type away. You must adhere to the “Article Requirements” listed above or your submission will be ignored.

  3. When you are finished, click the blue button on the right that says “Submit for Review” (you can also “Save Draft” if you want to finish your article later before submitting). We will then review your composition and send it to the press!

    1. You must “Submit for Review” when you finish. If you only “Save Draft” we won’t know that you’re finished writing your article and it will never be reviewed.

Thanks!
