The closing date to submit articles for this edition is Friday 10 August.
This is an opportunity to publicize your company to a select audience in Southern Africa as well as around the world. GIGSA News allows members to inform the specifying and buying community of their services, products, and scope of work, as well as new and innovative work being done. It is sent directly to around 1500 e-mail contacts (all of whom have shown interest in geosynthetic matters in the past). It is also posted on the International Geosynthetics Society official web page at http://www.geosyntheticssociety.org as well as the GIGSA web site at www.gigsa.org and thus receives a lot of international as well as local exposure.
Please observe the following guidelines for submissions:
Ensure that articles are written in a professional technical style, and avoid “puffery” (A flattering commendation – especially when used for promotional purposes). GIGSA News will either edit out any such content, or return the material to the sender.
There should be no product or company name in the title of the article. However, product, company or system names may be used and their benefits described in the text.
Comparisons which purport to illustrate that a given organisation, product or type of product is superior to others on the market will be returned to the submitter for modification.
Articles that present design or test methods that are related to only one product will not be acceptable.
Limit submissions to one A4 page in 11 point Arial font where possible (including high-quality photographs and sketches – material that does not print well, or appear well on computer screens may be rejected).
Longer articles may be considered if they are considered to be particularly interesting, but there is no guarantee that there will be space for such material in any particular publication.
GIGSA News is published in two-column newspaper format, and is only issued electronically in Adobe pdf format. Please take this into consideration when composing your submission, as it does affect how it will appear onscreen, and in print.
Articles will be accepted on a first-come first-placed basis, and this invitation to submit material is open only to paid-up GIGSA members.
Please send all material to the GIGSA News Editor at vanessa@artincentive.co.za
