SUMY NONA is a 22 page, A5 size, "anonymous", mixed-media, (underground) zine for the area of Delft, Netherlands (and worldwide friends thereof). Anonymus is the latin word for anonymous and all the submissions are anonymous or utilizing a pseudonym, hence the name. Truly free!

there is no website, no social media, no twittering, no nonprofit org,  just an artist (with formerly one enthusiastic supporter on patreon.com) footing the bill mostly. they had to stop september 2021, so now we are print-on-demand and mostly digital. thankfully NFTs are starting to already offer hope, with some action starting in that field.

looking to diversify to pay for 75 print issues per month again, hence the opensea and rarible profiles and new crypto currency wallet. In the future we look forward to minting every issue also on the HEN NFT (https://www.hicetnunc.xyz/) platform, which is a blockchain more akin to rogue creatives & offers allegedly less environmental impact.

but as far as participation, so far not one single person has been turned away yet. it will be more interesting to see what an open-call will bring instead of me asking all my artists friends. the idea is less promoting of the individual and more presenting it as a whole multi-media experience in zine form. this open-call is to help keep the zine true to the original intention of anonymous as a whole, and less of the vanity zine it's leaning towards lately. moving forward into 2022, year 2, there may be a total link ban but that's not yet been decided.

look forward to your submissions. feel free to message with any questions. 

and LIVE FREE!

Who is eligible for this opportunity?
everyone is eligible unless it's completely unprintable, which we have yet to come across. it's all been rather tame. this is not a porno mag, but artsy. let's leave it at that. bring it.

are you creative? do you have exceptional skills in something? do you have a point to get across? have you created something beautiful? scary? angst-ridden? meaningful? do you have a fascinating story? write poems? make songs? in the digital issue we can include so much more.

languages - prefer dutch and/or english
When is the deadline?
the next issue will be early january 2022, so the end of the the year 2021 is fine. the final digital zine is a viewable and/or downloadable canva.com link. PDF & maybe MP4.

we also can print a physical copy and mail it, but then there are costs associated.
How many works can I submit?
submit as much as will fit.
How much does it cost?
no cost to participate
Are there payments to artists?
there are no payments to artists yet, sorry. we are going to offer NFTs and gift some to the artists for the annual commemorative double issue.
What publicity will be provided as part of the opportunity?
there will not be much publicity on our part. we are more into making it and letting it go it's own way.
What happens if my proposal is chosen?
we promise to let everyone know when the next zine is in progress. we assume everyone will be accepted but feel free to test that theory.
