Our April 2026 theme has arrived:
DEADLINE: MAY 8th 2026
How does the balance of darkness and light, the ongoing cycle by which we live, inform artist practice?
How are themes of the ‘dark’ and the ‘light’ represented in art, music and writing?
How does creative practice illuminate or reveal new ideas, concepts and ways of understanding?
How does such practice tie in to broader ontological philosophes (Illuminationism, Anthroposophy, mysticism etc.)?
Our April theme asks these questions and more: a diverse, philosophically-considered concept exploring light and dark in all their guises.
Submit music, visual art, videos, writing, project documentation, scores, poetry, fiction, or any other creative medium.
DEADLINE: MAY 8th 2026
To submit work, please head over to our submission portal:
