Call for Submissions

New Riot Inc. zine is taking submissions for Issue #3!

The theme this time is Punks & Queers. Punk rock has been interlaces with queer culture from its beginnings, from queer punk artists, photographers, and writers, to early inspiration from drag performances, and often simply as a safe space for free expression and finding one's identity.

We invite you to send in: writing, album/song reviews, personal anecdotes, queer poetry and art, art inspired by punk/pop punk and riot grrrl music that has resonated with your queer experiences, and any mixed media pieces.

Email all submissions to [email protected]

Further Guidelines:

No format required for your emails, say as little or as much about your piece (and about yourself) as you wish

Written pieces can be sent in the email, or a Word/Doc file. Images preferably in JPG/PNG. Mixed media pieces can be sent in whichever format suits your piece and formatting best

Word limit for written pieces is 3000 words. No lower limit

Multiple images or written pieces may be submitted

Our previous two issues are free to download: Issue #1, Issue #2. More on our blog here

You may also send in pieces not related to the theme to be published on our blog. The pieces can be about punk rock/riot grrrl or may be more generally political art

Deadline for Issue #3: 31st May, 2023

Attention artists & storytellers!

Astral Cherry Healing Arts is announcing the call for submissions for the second issue of the Queer/Trans Magic Zine! This zine is a growing collection of creative works that explore, honor, and transform lineages of queer magic & resilience.

The theme is Luxuria (Desire/Lust/Luxury/Excess). This issue asks: how do we nourish ourselves with reckless abandon? How do we reclaim and reintegrate our desire from suppression? How do we lavish in pleasure and play? How can we uproot and transform shameful and oppressive relationships to desire, lust, luxury, and excess into something completely new?

It is free to submit to QT Magic. Previously published & erotic works are welcome. Unfortunately, no video/audio submissions at this time. Contributors retain their creative rights and will receive a free digital copy of the zine. The deadline to submit is December 29th, 2023.

Today a bunch of artist opportunities came on my radar so I thought I would share:

MakersPlace x Excedrin Women Artist Accelator Equal Bytes - This is an opportunity for women artists not in NFTs yet or in the space and haven't sold an NFT. I'm on the curating board with this along with a lot of amazing artists! Please share this with anyone you know who would be interested.

Here is words they sent me share:

Did you know women makeup less than 20% of the NFT market? Let’s change that. Excedrin is bidding on women’s NFT art through to reduce the headaches standing in the way of their first NFT. Apply for #EqualBytes and view T&Cs by 11/2 here: excedrinequalbytes.com! Must be 18+ to enter.

OM Virtual Exhibition -

Meta Masquerade through 50mm. I have worked with 50mm and they are good people -

MXTTER RAMP (at bottom of article) I have not worked directly with them, but seems like an interesting project-
