10 Apr 2026 Everything is Political - call for articles

We encourage contributors to get a feel for our tone, voice, and politics by reading through some previously published pieces — we’re drawn to writing that’s grounded, critical, imaginative, and in conversation with liberation movements and lived experiences.

(Honorarium included)

15 Apr 2026 Call for pitches: Fuller Project

Deadline: Rolling with monthly themes - this month is Money; Water; Pleasure/desire

https://www.fullerproject.org

Fuller is a global newsroom producing award-winning, impactful reporting on issues that shape the lives of women and gender-diverse people.

We prioritize in-depth, original journalism that spotlights systems of oppression and holds the powerful to account; well-told stories that have the potential to shape the news agenda, catalyze change or start conversation. At the same time, we intend to use our deep expertise and global networks to find solutions and connect the dots between gender and the challenges we collectively face.

We bring stories from around the world to audiences primarily based in the US and Europe and we’re seeking pitches from storytellers who know how to connect those audiences to the lived experiences of people often far away; showing why it matters and equipping them to act.

Some of the recent work we’re proudest of: photo essays, investigative features, explainers and constructive stories.

15 Apr 2026 The Contrapuntal: Call for pitches. Post-panoptics: Embodied Surveillance & The Architectures of Control

We welcome pitches from:

  • investigative and long-form journalists — particularly those based in or reporting from the Netherlands and the wider Benelux region,
  • academics and researchers in surveillance studies, STS, critical data studies, human geography, border and disability studies, legal theory, and media studies, who can write for a non-specialist audience without sacrificing rigour;
  • artists and multimedia practitioners working with photography, documentary video, installation, data visualization, illustration, comics, or hybrid forms.
  • Artistic contributions carry the same editorial weight and commission terms as written work; and multimedia journalist-artists whose practice moves across text, image, and interactive media.

We do not require institutional affiliation.

19 Apr 2026 Slant’d (AAPI Literary magazine) - Issue 08 - Wild

Issue 08 of our literary magazine, we invite you to explore the WILD: those untamed spaces where we stop following the script and start following our intuition.

We’re seeking personal essays, poetry, photography, and art that capture the radical bravery of venturing off the beaten path—from the physical adrenaline of travel to the quiet liberation of going against convention.

“Wild” is more than a destination; it’s the spiritual awakening that redefines your North Star and the roar of self discovery that comes when you embrace your most vibrant self. Whether you’re reconnecting with the earth or diving head first into the uncharted wilderness of your own life, we want to hear your stories.

We’re seeking original creative non-fiction (personal essays), poetry, art, and photography. No “writer” title required. If you have a good story, we’ll help you bring it to life.

20 Apr 2026 Runway Journal - Issue 51 - Translation

We are excited to announce that submissions are open for Issue 51: Translation.

Translation demands deep reading and attentive listening. It moves ideas across writing, speech, silence, image, and movement, and sits within an embodied practice of empathy, vigilance, and decisiveness.

The power of translators to colour how ideas are expressed and exploited opens up endless opportunities for new betrayals and violence. The wrong language can trick ethnic parents into thinking you are doing well at school, has caused contestants to lose the Miss Universe crown, validated colonial theft, and encouraged individuals to make devastating health decisions for themselves.

We invite you to send in pitches on the many aspects and outcomes of good, bad and mediocre translations.

(Paid opportunity: $800 AUD + superannuation)

23 Apr 2026 Paloma Magazine Issue 28 - Fault Lines

We invite work that investigates structures under pressure—architectural, collective, personal. We’re interested in fractures beyond anticipation, whether catastrophic rupture or quiet creep. Stress / strain / shear in the material and beyond. Think seismic design, strained infrastructure, interrupted syntax, cracks. Until april 23rd, send us pieces that map what is reshaped by its faults.

04 May 2026 Log 67

Summer 2026 Honorarium offered

Log 67 is an open issue on the state of the world today. All submissions are welcome; timely submissions on new architecture and current events are preferred.

10 May 2026 Everyone is a Girl - theme: gloss / glossolalia

We’re looking for writing that thinks through the politics of the surface and the forms of excess that the internet both produces and fails to contain. That can come from anywhere, art history, film and moving image, music criticism, cultural anthropology, sociology, new media research, critical theory, curatorial practice. Essays, auto-theory, close readings, experimental writing, hybrids, and forms that don’t have a name yet.

Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DXOpNrujaXS/ Submission form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfrD2Vz80R5b7dqEDDL5kviB0PY3wATXrl8Gm4JRmABXxbzOw/viewform

10 May 2026 Anthropolitan magazine (UCL Dept. of Anthropology)

This year, we are inviting both written submissions and visual works that will be showcased in two streams:

Anthropolitan Print Magazine

We welcome submissions across all formats for the Anthropolitan print magazine: ethnographic essays, creative non-fiction, poetry, photography, illustration, and experimental work that defies easy categorisation. Work that sits between disciplines, genres, or registers is especially encouraged. Word count for articles should be limited to 1,500 words and should be accompanied by at least 1 visual element (in high resolution jpeg format).

Anthropolitan x The Creative Collective Picture Competition

All visual art submissions will be entered in a competition to select the cover image for this year’s Anthropolitan print. Shortlisted pictures will be showcased during the AnthroShow on June 9 2026, and selected submissions will also be exhibited in the department, framed and displayed in the coming academic year.

In this way, visual works will be able to shape the department’s visual identity and its evolving legacy. Visuals should be of good quality resolution ( 2339 x 3307 pixels per inch), ideally to be printed in A3 and A4 formats and submitted as jpeg files.

15 May 2026 Docomomo US - Call for articles: Recreation & Play

Docomomo US invites submissions for a 2026 special edition focused on Recreation & Play – the mid-twentieth-century sites where communities gathered for leisure, movement, social life, and joy.

This edition will examine parks, plazas, skate spaces, swimming pools, playgrounds, amusement sites, and recreational landscapes built between 1949 and 1969, with particular attention to informal use, cultural practices, and histories of access, exclusion, and belonging. Contributions may address architectural, landscape, social, artistic, or cultural dimensions of recreation and play.

We welcome submissions from scholars, practitioners, preservationists, students, artists, and community members.

17 May 2026 futurejuice - call for writing proposals: Automation Bias

We invite critical, experimental, and hybrid responses to automation bias, across essays, fiction, interviews, and poetic forms.

Seeking work that moves beyond baseline AI critique to trace deeper links between technology, culture, identity, and older systems of control; and that explores automation as psychological, social, and behavioural, not just technical.

18 May 2026 the modernist Issue 58 - PLASTIC

For our Autumn 2026 issue, we are taking on PLASTIC. Plastic permeates our lives today, largely as a legacy of its mind-blowing expansion in production and application throughout the twentieth century. We invite articles that respond to the ambiguities of twentieth-century ideas and attitudes towards PLASTIC - from the engineering, design and architectural ambitions enabled by innovative new uses; to failed attempts to harness it for purposes it could never fulfil. We are interested in how the promise of a utopian, shrink-wrapped future soured amid a growing environmental consciousness.

25 May 2026 Another Gaze Journal - Call for writing

https://www.anothergaze.com

Another Gaze, founded in 2016, is a journal of film and feminisms. Our aim is to publish writing that engages in thoughtful and rigorous ways with film culture, past and present. We have historically focused on feminist approaches to film criticism, and remain committed to that project while also broadening our scope to address wider questions of cinema and politics.

Once a printed journal, we now aim to publish three issues a year online. We feature longform essays and criticism, sometimes experimental in nature…

Another Gaze is particularly interested in:

  • Writing that takes the temperature of the current moment
  • Well-researched essays about a filmmaker (to be understood as anyone involved in the making of a film) or filmmaking collective
  • Essays on recent restorations that provide historical context
  • Commentary/critique on festivals/other parts of the industry apparatus
  • Longform book reviews

We are still unfunded. We work on pieces over the course of months and several drafts. Payment ranges from 150 – 400 GBP, depending on word count.

For the sixth issue of Tractor Beam, we’re looking for stories about the role of water in soil, growth, land, and ecosystems large and small. We are specifically seeking anti-apocalyptic visions that explore the future of water in farming and food production, island ecologies, hybrid sea-soil technologies, the people who move water and the people water moves. Stories about drought, diaspora, and what gets carried downstream.

Tractor Beam pays $1,000.00 for all accepted submissions. We prefer stories under 6,000 words and comics between 12-16 panels. Submissions close June 30th.

Growth after dormancy, revival after stagnation, beginning again or regaining momentum. We invite you to share your unique perspective through poetry, storytelling, and photography.

31 Aug 2026 Log 68: Gardens

While we humans occupy many houses, our houses all share one site: Earth. This is never more pointed, and poignant, than when astronauts looking down at our cloudy blue planet call the orb “home.”

Log 68 considers the concept of garden not only as a method of sustaining cities but also as a planetary act. What is the status and potential of the garden – its concept and its being – in architecture and on Earth today?

Submissions are due by Monday, August 31, 2026. Submissions should be between 250 and 4,000 words.
