Submission Terms

Effective date: October 22, 2026

Thank you for sharing with AJ Bodybuilding Magazine. These terms explain what happens when you send us a story, photo, video or other material.

You keep ownership

You keep ownership of the original content you submit.

Permission to use submitted content

By submitting content and giving the required consent, you give AJ Bodybuilding Magazine a non-exclusive permission to review your material and, if it is selected, to reproduce, publish, display, crop, resize, format, edit for length and presentation, create social and media excerpts from, and distribute it across AJ-owned or AJ-operated channels, such as:

  • The AJ website
  • AJ social media
  • Digital editorial
  • Promotional and editorial materials
  • Future magazine and editorial formats

Because this permission is non-exclusive, you remain free to use your own work however you like.

Editorial discretion

Submitting content does not guarantee publication, a feature, compensation or a response. AJ decides what is and isn't published.

Your responsibilities

When you submit, you confirm that:

  • You have the right to submit the content
  • It doesn't knowingly violate anyone's copyright or other rights
  • You have permission from identifiable people where required
  • The information you provide is reasonably accurate
  • The content is not unlawful

Third-party content

If you submit photos or video created by another photographer, videographer or rights holder, you are responsible for making sure you have permission to submit it for AJ's use.

Editing

AJ may make reasonable editorial changes, such as cropping, resizing, color correction, formatting, shortening written material, excerpting video and adding captions, titles or branding, while trying not to materially misrepresent you.

Credit

AJ may credit creators and athletes where appropriate, but specific tagging, collaboration invitations or credit formatting can't always be guaranteed unless separately agreed.

Sensitive or private information

Please don't include information you don't want reviewed as part of your submission.

Removal requests

To ask AJ to review removal of previously published material you submitted, contact aj@ajbodybuildingmag.com. AJ will review each request, but removal can't be guaranteed in every circumstance.

Minors

Material involving a minor must be submitted or authorized by a parent or legal guardian where required.
