Open Call for Submissions to Cooltzine vol.4 (collaboratively created zine)
Deadline: 04/12/2020Cooltsalon
Cooltsalon invites submissions for the 4th collaboratively created zine, "Cooltzine", where each page is done by different creatives, professional or amateur, as visual interpretation to the set annual theme. The 2021 theme is "Future Now".
The zine was born in 2018, curated by Cooltsalon as an accessible exposure platform for both professional and amateur visual storytellers. It is now a tradition that "Cooltzine", the zine, is unveiled during "Cooltzine" the international event, taking place in May, across Belgrade, London and Sofia, as core cities, plus additional hosting partners.
Final selection of co-creators for vol.4 will be done with the participation of event's co-curators iksvy art and an international selection committee (members TBA in January via Cooltsalon social media channels)
2021 Theme - "Future Now":
Where 2020 presented a collective challenge and posed shifts in the established models, rendering future planning both obsolete and even more necessary than before, we ask what does “going forward” mean now? Can one build while in a state of flux? Or is it a state of suspense and waiting, while the present is the only mode available?
How to submit:
Please submit your visual interpretation of what "Future Now" means to you. To participate in the Open Call, please work with the downloadable page template (with the correct zine dimensions) NOTE: the template is portrait, but you are welcome to fit your work in landscape (page to be rotated when viewed)
Deadline for submissions: 4 December 2020, 23:59 GMT.
If your page proposal is successful, you will be asked to send in the work in print-ready resolution, e.g. 300 dpi.
Contact the curator
In general, we always welcome the presence of our collaborators and encourage it as a networking opportunity.
Your work is seen in print (in the zine) and online (promotional profile).
It could be new work, created specifically in response to the Open call, or a pre-existing one, which you feel fits the theme in some way (please don't forget to tell us how & why)
Previous zine pages have been created from works in various visual media: photography, illustration, collage, or even written text.
We especially encourage submissions from creators based in the event-participating countries (Serbia, Bulgaria, UK) for the opportunity to attend the zine launch in person, but your geographic location doesn't actually matter.
You must have an account to send a message to the curator of this opportunity. Registering only takes a few moments. Once registered you'll be able to keep track of all of your submissions and get updates on upcoming opportunities.
