Deadline: 2/16/25
Looking for short stories, photography, typography, comics, recipes, graphic design/illustration, printmaking.... literally whatever!
​
Themes for this issue are:
​
Reflection and Renewal
Exploring the concept of looking back to move forward, shedding old habits, or finding clarity through retrospection.
The Quiet Bloom
Explore the subtle, often unnoticed transformations that take place in spring. This could be the quiet unfolding of nature, or the hidden personal changes that come with the season’s arrival. Artwork and writing might focus on the delicate aspects of growth and the beauty in imperfection.
Light in the Darkness
The symbolic role of light—literal and metaphorical—during long nights, and finding brightness in challenging times.
Cycles and Seasons
How Spring fits into the broader cycles of nature, life, and emotions.
Stillness and Silence
Exploring the beauty and tension in moments of pause or quiet, and how they affect creativity or connection.
