Submissions
OrigamiUSA has published and will continue to publish origami diagrams in various forms: in our annual convention book, The Origami Collection, in our magazine, The Paper, and elsewhere on our website.
Submitting Your Work
If you would like to submit your diagrams for any of OrigamiUSA publications, you can email them at origami.usa.pub@gmail.com .
PDF format is preferred, but we can handle most popular file formats. If you are sending an image file (e.g., a jpg), please make sure it is at a high resolution: 1275x1650 pixels, or equivalently, 8.5x11 in at 150 dpi or higher. If the print quality is bad at your end, we will not be able to improve the resolution at our end.
You can also mail in your diagrams, in case you cannot scan them. The address is:

Please include a signed permission form with all submissions (see below). You can download a copy here. If you cannot scan your signature in, a typed signature would be acceptable.
If we publish your work, you will receive a complimentary copy of the publication it is used in. Be sure to include a mailing address so we can send you your copy.
