All material accepted for the Overture is subject to editing in accordance with editorial policy and style and the dictates of space, clarity, sense, interest and union members' welfare. Submissions will be considered based on relevance and interest to the Local 47 membership.

Letters to the editor are limited to a maximum of 400 words and are subject to editing. Not all letters submitted will be published. Obituaries (Final Notes), club reports and article submissions are limited to a maximum of 500 words. Final Notes should generally be personal recollections, not biographical details. Articles, stories and advertisements must be attributed only to the writer(s) involved. The editors do not necessarily agree with or support the views expressed in submissions to the Overture. Anonymous or unsigned submissions will not be printed.

Photos may be submitted via email or in hard copy (developed photos only; not printouts of digital photos) and must include complete caption information (full name of photographer and of everyone pictured, date and location of image) or they will not be published. Photos will not be returned unless specifically requested by sender.

The Overture does not solicit nor hire freelance writers or photographers and accepts submissions solely on a volunteer basis. Articles and photos become the property of the Overture and may be republished in any format. The Overture and Local 47 do not expressly share the same views as contributing writers, nor expressly endorse the intent or judgment that may be present in submissions.
