autumn submissions now open
the act of creation is an attempt to enter a mysterious realm. a longing to transcend. what we create allows us to share glimpses of an inner landscape, one that is beyond our understanding. art is our portal to the unseen world.

ISSUE II
AUTUMN
theme: folklore
17th October - 30th November
- don't forget to read our guidelines -
King Arthur, Thomas the Rhymer, Anansi, the Legend of Leelanau. These stories permeate and inform our cultures, offering us windows to the most intricate of practices and superstitions in fantastical ways. This autumn, tell us about the unsettling myths. Find a story that has never been told before. Or, tell a story in a way that has never been done - put a twist on an old folk tale. Tell me about your family's legends and how their ghosts still haunt your everyday. Teach me something, scare me, allure me, through tales as old as time and as mysterious as a raven's chant.

Research starting points:
Aesop's Fables
