SUBMIT YOUR ARTICLES, PICTURES OR EVENTS

Deadline for submissions are the 15th of each month.  In December the deadline is the 10th of the month and there is no deadline in July as we do not publish in August.

When submitting an article for the Breezes we also like to share the content on our social channels. Please include as many pictures as possible and a couple lines of copy we can use for Facebook, Instagram and Twitter posts. The articles written represent the opinions of the individual and must meet the Mission and Vision of The Breezes and the Board of Directors as set out. Articles may be edited for length, tone, clarity and are subject to publication based on available space. Deadline for submission is the 15th of the month prior to publication. We appreciate an early notice by the 10th of the month if you want to reserve ad space and early submission gives us time to edit your articles. Pictures and logos are accepted and will be included as space allows.

Please read our publication guidelines below for more information.
