Please note that Context only accepts submissions from BARN members.
Submissions for our April issue are open! Please click the Submission Form button above to submit.
Here are our Context categories for our next round of submissions.
Give it a Try
This is a creative prompt designed to be for anyone to try. There are two categories for the April issue to choose from:
1. Blackout Poem: Create a poem from an existing piece of writing by crossing out words. The remaining words can be read as a poem. Please submit your final poem as well as the original text with the words crossed out. Click here for an example
2. Tiny Love Stories: With only 100 words, tell us a love story. This could be romantic love, pet love, children love.....any kind of love.
Look here for inspiration: Tiny Love Stories from the NY Times.
Writing
We accept all kinds of writing but nothing more than 2000 words.
Showcase
We'd like to see your work but are equally interested in the "story behind the story." What inspired you to create it, and what obstacles or surprises did you encounter on the way? Please provide a photo(s) of your creation with a narrative of @300 words.
Creative Combos
This category is up to you. Surprise and delight us! Have you combined media in an unusual way? Have you used a new technique which resulted in unexpected outcomes? Did one piece of art inspire another?
Cover Art
The 4 quadrant cover art displayed out of sequence represents our desire for Context to be a place for thinking outside the box. Do you have an image that could support this framework? We'd love to see it!
