Community Frames Submissions Highlight Pet Family Members
The Signal Tribune is inviting residents to submit photos of their pet family members for a special Community Frames feature in the Thanksgiving issue.

The Signal Tribune has announced a call for submissions for its Community Frames feature, which will highlight pet family members in a special section of the newspaper. The submission guidelines include a no-selfie rule, with an exception for pets that have tails or scales. This initiative aims to showcase the unique bond between humans and their animal companions, as well as celebrate the diverse roles pets play in people's lives (Signal Tribune). [1]
Submissions will be featured in both the online and print versions of the Signal Tribune, providing an opportunity for pet owners to share their stories and photos with a wider audience. The deadline for submissions is Wednesday, Nov. 25 at noon, and photos can be sent via email to Newspaper@signaltribune.com with the subject line 'COMMUNITY FRAMES' (Signal Tribune). [1]
The Long Beach Parks, Recreation and Marine Department manages a variety of community spaces, including parks, community centers, and recreational facilities, which may provide settings for some of the submissions. However, the department’s primary role is to serve the community through recreation programs and services, not directly related to the Signal Tribune’s photo submission initiative (www.longbeach.gov).
