Deadline for Submission
All content must be submitted by the 20th day of the month to allow us time to adequately design the newspaper. After this point, we cannot guarantee that we will have time or space to fit your work into that edition, but we will attempt to do so for subsequent editions.
Content Submission Guideline
To help us represent your work accurately and compellingly, we ask that your submission includes the following components. These details are essential for creating a comprehensive feature that engages and informs our readers:
1. Profile Picture: Include a high-quality photo of yourself to accompany your feature.
2. Contact Information and Links: Provide your email, website, and any social media profiles you’d like to share so readers can connect with you and explore more of your work.
3. Artistic Disciplines or Titles: Let us know the art forms you practice or the titles you go by (e.g., painter, sculptor, multimedia artist).
4. Portfolio of Work: Submit 2-3 images of your artwork, each with a brief caption that explains or adds context to the piece.
5. Biography and Work Description: Provide a description about yourself and your work, roughly 5 paragraphs in length, although more is useful. Your bio should cover:
- Who you are and where you’re from.
- The type of work you create and the processes or techniques you use.
- Where people can currently find or view your work (e.g., exhibitions, online platforms, studios).
- What drives your artistic passion and how your background has influenced your art.

Important Note: Fulfilling these requirements is crucial for us to adequately represent you and your art. Missing information may result in a less engaging or incomplete feature, which could impact how effectively we showcase your work to our readers.
We encourage you to make your submission as rich and engaging as possible, offering a glimpse into your world as an artist. While we provide this structure as a guide, feel free to infuse your unique personality and style into your writing.
