Each call for submissions will have a theme. All submissions must respond to the theme of the issue. We invite contributors to be creative and interpret the theme in any way.
Although we are a small magazine with a limited budget, we believe in compensating contributors. Each contributor whose submission is accepted and published in the magazine will receive a small honorarium of USD$40. *Amount received may vary according to the exchange rate of the receiver’s currency. *We use PayPal or Western Union to make transfers and prefer not to do wire or bank transfers due to the administrative burden and additional fees charged.

Photo essays must include photo descriptions if possible. Please include a brief note in your email explaining how the photo essay relates to the theme of the issue. If the submission is accepted, high-resolution photos at 300 DPI will be requested.
We accept submissions from anywhere in the world (especially from places that are not usually featured in mainstream media).
Contributors must be 18 years old and above.
Contributors retain full rights to their work. We only accept unpublished work. Works that have been previously published on personal blogs can be considered on an exceptional basis.
