We want blankmediacollective.org to be the place you feel you can get your voice heard. If you are a writer, visual artist, musician or if you have an event you want us to shout about you can get in touch with us below.
We try to provide honest, creative and critical feedback when you submit. We also work closely with several other organisations, venues and writers’ collectives, so we can help support you and your work.
We want to support all artists, not just writers. If your work crosses genres, that’s fine with us. As we’re digital, we have the means to publish visual and sound based accompaniments to your work.
Please check your submissions for spelling, grammar and punctuation errors before sending it in and don’t forget to submit a short biography with your work so we can learn more about you.
The Events page is a large part of what we do at blankmediacollective.org - we want to tell the world about the brilliant events you are putting on in our community. It could be a music event, live literature, your new exhibition, a theatre show, anything! As long as it’s emerging talent we want to share it. Submit a short synopsis of the event, with web links for further information and at least one high resolution image (minimum size 800px by 500px, maximum file size 2mb) and your next important event could be featured on our website.
All lengths and forms of poetry are welcome, as are varying stylistic approaches. Word limit is down to you, but we’d ask that you discuss any works longer than 30 lines each with the Editor.
Per submission we’re looking for no more than 3 – 4 medium length poems or 2 longer ones.
Stories should be between 1000 and 2500 words (although shorter or longer works may be considered). All styles and themes are accepted, and we are looking for originality, insight and wit.
Our dedicated visual design team will work with your submission, creating bespoke illustrative accompaniments, all housed within our trademark unique and beautiful layout.
We’re looking for talented creatives with a unique style and ability to produce interesting pieces. New works are preferred, but previously published pieces will be considered.
If you are in a band, or you are a solo musician or even if you just like writing about music you can get in touch. We welcome submissions from any music genre, providing the recording is of industry standard. If your submission is accepted we will require high resolution images (minimum size 800px by 500px, maximum file size 2mb). We will be embedding audio into our website using Soundcloud.
If you are an artist and you want to share your work with our audience, then send us a short biographical piece along with an artist’s statement about your work (around 500 words), attaching up to 4 images (minimum size 800px by 500px, maximum file size 2mb) and you could be our next Arts Spotlight.
If you like to write about arts and culture, then we welcome your proposals for articles, reviews, critical opinion etc. Send us a short proposal detailing what you’d like to write about and why, and you could be reaching our audience with an Arts Feature
