Founding Member Launch Window
During the first six months of the Crown & Collar Journal™ launch period, approved founding members may receive limited contributor privileges while the Institute builds its first public education library.
Founding contributor access may include the opportunity to submit up to one educational article per week for review and possible publication.
Founding contributor privileges are intended to support early education, community development, breeder accountability, and the creation of high-quality public learning resources.
After the founding launch period, contributor privileges may be adjusted based on membership status, recognition level, award status, professional qualification, and continued alignment with Crown & Collar Institute™ standards.
Breeder Members & Award Recipients
Crown & Collar breeder members may be invited to submit educational articles for review and possible publication.
Once Crown & Collar breeder awards are active and award recipients have been recognized, contributor allowances may differ by recognition status.
General breeder members may be eligible to submit up to one educational article per week.
Recognized breeder award recipients may be eligible to submit up to two educational articles per week, depending on award level, standing, and editorial approval.
Higher recognition may allow greater educational visibility, but all submissions remain subject to review for quality, tone, accuracy, professionalism, and alignment with Crown & Collar Institute™ standards.
