Frequently Asked Questions 

Send submissions to Crest@student.oprfhs.org!

Please send photos  that are well lit, cropped, and in 300 dpi. 

Please send written submissions in a google doc.

OR

Submit hard copies of your work to room 3139. Unfortunately, we cannot return original submissions.

As many as you like! (Within reason -- we once had a student submit 70 photos in one email.) We generally cap off published pieces at 3 total visuals or written works per student, but we have been known to make exceptions.

DPI stands for digital pixels per inch. 300 DPI basically translates to high resolution. If you are able to, please convert visuals to 300 DPI using Photoshop or another application before submitting. (Don't worry if you can't -- we double check all visuals before putting them into the book.)

Yearly at the end of spring semester! The physical magazine is available for free* in May of each school year in both the school bookstore and English/arts classrooms. If you are a graduating senior who has not received a copy of the magazine, you may go to room 3139 to be given one. 

*Any price listed on the book is purely a gimmick, please do not pay for your copy of Crest. Please do not make students pay or spread the misinformation that they need to pay. Crest is free for the students, staff, and families of OPRFHS.

No pieces submitted after March 20th, 2025 will be considered for the physical book. If submitting after March 20th, please understand it is possible but unlikely your work will be published digitally.

Due to the volume of submissions we receive, we cannot inform each student when/if their pieces were accepted. Digital submissions are reviewed and then published on the website on a rolling basis. When the physical book is distributed at the end of the year, you will see if your piece was published in Crest!

Currently we are only taking submissions sent through a student email address that include a student ID number and full name in the body of the email. If you would like your piece to be published under your initials or a name different than the one attached to your school account please write: 

I am requesting for the name listed in skyward to not be printed, instead please use [NAME/INITIALS TO BE PRINTED BESIDE PIECE] instead.

While Crest encourages all students to submit work under their legal name to be recognized in the future, it is not a requirement for a student to be published here that their legal first name be used.
