Photography Guidelines
Thank you for your interest in providing photo material for Horizon Edition Magazine. As Horizon Air's monthly, complimentary inflight magazine, we are a travel, business and lifestyle publication. We have monthly enplanements of 420,000, with a print run averaging 35,000. We are a glossy four-color publication.
Our photographic interests lie specifically in places within Horizon Air's route system. The airline's territory is the Pacific Northwest. They fly to destinations in Montana, Oregon, Washington, Northern California, British Columbia including Calgary and Kelowna - as indicated on the travel map located in the back section of the magazine.
Our subjects cover a wide variety of topics, such as: lifestyle, nature, sports/adventure travel, arts and entertainment, and business. In both editorial and design, Horizon Edition Magazine is an award-winning publication. We engage our readers with striking, high-quality photographs that characteristically possess sharp, clean, bright color, thoughtful composition and, very often, offer a sense of location.
