How It Works
From The Envelope To The Page
Four steps and about five weeks. Nothing is final until you press Submit, and nothing is printed without your say.
-
01
Read The Brief
Each call names its theme, its judges, its deadline and how many frames a series may hold.
-
02
Send A Series
Four to twenty frames in the order you would print them, a title and a few lines about the work.
-
03
Three Editors Read It
Every series is seen by three editors; a shortlist goes on the table, and a note comes back to everyone.
-
04
Printed On Paper
Eight pages in the issue, ten copies posted to you and the prints on our wall at the launch night.

Questions About Submitting
Rights, permissions, fees and who reads the work.
Every QuestionPick an open call and press Submit Your Work: five steps take the call, your series, a few words about you and the entry fee. Nothing is sent until you press Submit.
Each call sets its own limit, from 6 to 20 frames a series. Send the sequence you would print, not your best single frames.
Most calls cost €12 a series. A subscriber's first series is free, students pay 50% less, and from the 4th series on each one costs €8.
Every series is seen by three editors. The judges are named on each call's page, with the date the results come out.
