What does this theme mean? This edition is all about the Earth, how we live with nature (or forget about it), and how we exist on the planet. The world is your oyster, this is your Mossbody. Get mossy.
What are we looking for? We’re looking for your interpretation of the theme based on your own creative visions.
To give you an idea: non-fiction or fiction, poetry, personal essays, dirt play, human habitats (however you wish to interpret this), nature photographs, planet wisdom, literary, film, or art critiques, botanical wonders, personal philosophies, documentation of nature, tree songs, folk tales, paintings, herbal remedies, earthen wares, environmental co-creation, mixed media, earthy installations, sandcastles, & geological findings.
We accept submissions expressed in most mediums with the exception of video and audio creations. More mundane requirements are outlined in depth on our submissions page.
Who can submit? Anyone and everyone. Aspiring creatives or those who have already been in the spotlight. See our submissions page for more details.
