Submitting an Advertisement
Advertisers are responsible for designing their own advertisements, and all advertisements must adhere to the dimensions specified above. Publication-ready ads can be submitted via E-mail or other digital method. We operate on Macintosh systems and accept the following file formats: PDF, EPS, JPEG and TIFF. TIFF, EPS (Photoshop, Illustrator) and PDF are preferred. All EPS fonts must be converted to outlines. Ads created using Microsoft Word are generally low resolution and do not reproduce well.

The Prairie reserves the right to edit or reject advertising that does not comply with its policies and standards.
The Prairie’s liability for major errors lessening the value of an advertisement (with the exception of ink issues, unless the ad cannot be seen) will be limited to republishing a corrected version of the advertisement. The advertiser shall defend and hold The Prairie harmless against any claims of liability or loss asserted or established.
Proof of ad publication will be supplied upon request.
Composition, photography and artwork produced by The Prairie become the property of the student publication and may not be reproduced without prior written consent of the Advertising Manager, Editor or Adviser of the Student Publication. Ad position may be requested, but it is not implied or guaranteed.
