About Photo of the Week and Photo of the Day

Every print issue, Metropolis showcases a Photo of the Week—a fresh, striking image that captures the mood of the city we live in. The Photo of the Week is the first thing readers see when they open the magazine, and we are looking for submissions of quality images that have not been published in other English-language magazines in Japan.

And every day at noon, Metropolis publishes a Photo of the Day on our website.

How to Submit Your Photo

Digital images can be submitted using the form below, and must meet the following minimum specifications:

  • Format: jpgs, tif, eps, png
  • Size: W:2480 pixels x H:1536 pixels
  • Or: W:8.3in x H: 5.2in
  • Or: W:22cm x H:13cm
  • (If you use a digital camera, it has to be at least 4.0 megapixels using the largest format available.)
