Submissions call: Border Arts: Beyond the Barriers anthology

The countdown to the submissions deadline is speeding up. Only 15 days left! 

We are looking for visual arts like drawing, photography, still shots from locally (from border states of California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas) produced independent films, and more. Basically, if you have ever taken a good picture of your surroundings, like buildings, rivers, desert, forests, events, or life in it's everyday happenings; or if you have drawn these topics and you're connected to the border states of Cali, Texas, Arizona, and New Mex., send us your work!



Professional and amateur works are welcome and encouraged. Basically, if it is something you would share on social media freely, it's something you should send to us. If your work is selected, it will represent the arts and life of our border states as it is now for posterity. Remember, this will be a major publication project!

Send your submissions to [email protected]. Multiple submissions of multiple mediums are welcome. So, if you are submitting photography and have a poem, send it too! 

(All visual art submissions selected for publication in the Border Arts: Beyond the Barriers anthology will be in black and white, except for works selected for the cover.)

Let's do this!

Check out our guidelines flyer on our submissions page. 

We're receiving submissions from around the country by authors who have known the US-Mexico border but few are actually living here. We'd like to encourage border authors and artists to submit your works too! This bilingual English/Spanish language anthology is about you. 

If you are an artist, photographer, author, or otherwise a creative with something to share on this publication, submit your work before the deadline of September 15, 2022.
