Program Advertising
Submission Guidelines


Sangamon Valley Youth Symphony program advertisements are printed in black and white (including gray scale and photographs). These guidelines will help us create the highest quality reproduction:

Electronic Art

We prefer submissions of electronic art in the following computer file formats.

  • Adobe Illustrator
  • Adobe PDF
  • Adobe Photoshop
  • EPS
  • Bitmap: TIFF, BMP, PICT, TGA, JPEG (Bitmap images should be at least 300 dpi)

We may be able to work with other file formats as well. Please contact us for more information.

Electronic files can be sent via e-mail attachment to: OrchestraManager@insightbb.com, or supplied on floppy disk, CD-ROM, Iomega Zip Disk, or DVD disk.

Camera-Ready Art

Please send the camera-ready original for best reproduction. Ads should be clean black & white copy in the desired size (or larger) printed at a resolution of at least 300 dpi. See "Ad Sizes" below.

If the ad contains screened halftones, the copy should be printed at a resolution of at least 600 dpi. High-quality ink jet or laser printouts are acceptable although the reproduction quality of halftone images cannot be assured. Ads clipped from previously-printed material, Xerox copies, or faxes will generally not produce satisfactory results.


Ad Sizes

Reproduction size for SVYS Concert Program ads

Full Page 4.5" wide x 7.5" high
Half Page 4.5" wide x 3.625" high
Quarter Page Horizontal 4.5" wide x 1.75" high
Quarter Page Vertical 2.125" wide x 3.625" high

Please be sure your submission fits the shape you have chosen. Hard copy artwork can be larger than the final ad, so long as it is printed in the proper shape. We can scan originals up to 8 1/2 x 11 inches.


We can create an ad for you:

If you do not have an ad prepared, we can create one for you. It is helpful if you provide a logo or photograph and a sketch or description of how you would like the ad to appear. We can make ads from business cards. If possible, send us your business logo separately as a high-quality graphic or computer file.
