Contest Reading Period
May 1 – September 7
General Reading Period
September 28 – April 30
Terrain.org welcomes submissions from new and experienced authors and artists alike. Our online journal accepts only the finest poetry, essays, fiction, articles, artwork, videos, and other contributions—material that reaches deep into the earth’s fiery core, or humanity’s incalculable core, and brings forth new insights and wisdom. We are seeking work in English (or translation) from around the world, and particularly Indigenous, Native, Black, Brown, and other historically marginalized and underrepresented voices. Please expect a response time of at least 12 weeks on general submissions, and please submit no more than once every six months.
The Terrain.org submission period is open from:
- September 28 – April 30 for general submissions (no fee, 12-week review period generally)
- May 1 – September 7 (Labor Day) for contest submissions ($15 fee for $500 prize in each genre)
- Year-round for Letter to America submissions (no fee, two-week review period)
If you would have a query about the ARTerrain gallery or Unsprawl case study series, please contact us. If you need to withdraw all or part of your submission, please do so directly in Submittable.
