we accept works that fall into literary (poetry, prose, creative nonfiction), visual arts (drawings, photography, paintings), and interdisciplinary (code literature, computer-generated artwork) categories. hybrid creations within a category (ex. prose poetry) are allowed. if you wish to submit a piece that does not fall into these categories, please let us know and we'll be glad to talk about it!
specific guidelines are as follows:

- submit between 1-3 pieces of prose, poetry, creative nonfiction, or hybrid works. each piece should contain no more than 2,500 words and be uploaded as separate documents, preferably in pdf or docx form.
for visual arts works:
- submit between 1-3 pieces of visual art or photography. each piece should be uploaded as separate document, preferably as a pdf or high-resolution image file.
for interdisciplinary works:
- submit between 1-3 pieces. each piece should be uploaded separately and can be in a docx, pdf, mp3, mp4, or image file. for code work, include a repl.it link or send as a txt file.

it goes without saying, but antinarrative does not tolerate racism, colonizer sympathizing, fetishization, ableism, sexism, transphobia, and homophobia in any form. any work found promoting or condoning bigotry will immediately be discarded and their creator will be banned from further application to the zine. the same goes for works found to be plagiarized from others. please also do not send in sexually explicit or overly graphic works.
additionally, antinarrative is only open to bipoc youth creatives ages 13-23. we run on an honor system, and ask kindly for those who do not identify as people of color to refrain from applying and for those who do apply to not "claim" or appropriate any identities that they do not belong to.
