All Writers will be required to contribute at least ONE article to our Monthly Fanzine. On their specific subjects.

Photographers

At present we have three dedicated match photographer. Because of the number of games that are on a weekly basis, they cannot cover them all, so we are looking for Photographers who are looking to build up their portfolio by covering games up and down the country.

The images would stay copyrighted to yourself, however Scotzine can use said images for any aspect of our website.
