For the printed version of the Trancers Guide we need a text with _____ characters.
Here we mean: Characters including spaces, NOT words.

Each thematic approach in your article should have its own sub-headline.
This will make it easier for the reader to find the online article in Google.

The structure of a Trancers Guide article should be as follows:

Headline (Describe the most interesting feature of your article here)
Introduction (160 characters, also displayed in Google search)

Please make sure that you include the most important information in the main text with _______ characters.
If you have more to tell, please add additional paragraphs for the online version of the article.

Do not worry. If you don’t follow the specifications exactly, we’ll take care of it editorially.

To present the psytrance scene of your country perfectly, we need great pictures.
Please add only approved pictures to your article.

Please name the pictures according to the following structure:

(rank) – (caption) – (festival) (year) – (photographer).jpg

rank: please number from 1 (most important) to x
caption: tell us what we see on the photo

All further information is probably self-explanatory 🙂

Here is an example for naming a photo:
