OPEN CALLS
"...AND ALL WAS ILLUMINATED" DIGITAL ZINE
Celebrate845 is collaborating with Cory Nakasue of Astrology by Cory to bring you our third digital zine titled "...And All Was Illuminated." We are calling to all marginalized creatives to submit work! Acceptable content includes writings, recipes, rituals, and renderings. For full info or to apply, click here or the button below.
PROMPT: The summer solstice is a time of maximum daylight in the Northern hemisphere. The light stays on longer than at any other point in the year. What is it you wish to see? What is it you want others to see? In the upcoming issue of Celebrate 845’s zine, we’d love to shed light on all of the growth that happened in the shadows of the winter, 2020, or any other time of life that’s been hidden. The title of this issue is “…And All Was Illuminated.” We’re taking our cues from astrology in this issue, so we’re also working with the light of the moon, eclipses, the astrological signs of Cancer and Leo, and halfway points (this season marks the halfway point of 2021) as well. Share what’s been revealed to you, or reveal something to others. Create materials that might help someone else shine. Come out of hiding!
Submission deadline: Saturday, May 16, 2021 at 11:59PM EST. For full info or to apply, click the button below.
