woahhh we are doing another edition of big little world, this time all about bog creatures + wetland ecosystems!!
A photo of a frog surrounded by cranberries, with a slightly edited caption to read “Frog and cranberries it must be time for big little world: bog babes” submit at bit.ly/bogbabes Call for submissions! Big Little World is accepting submissions for our fall edition, Bog Babes! Submit your art, writing, photography- anything* about bog creatures & wetland ecosystems by OCTOBER 20th *we do not accept Al generated submissions Text boxes over a photo of moss and plants: FAQ! What is Big Little World? Big Little World, previously Bugs That Craw, is a collaborative art zine about appreciating all of Earth's organisms, big and small, and the diversity of different ecosystems. What can I submit? Any piece of art or writing that pertains to bogs and wetland ecosystems! Previous editions have featured primarily visual art, but all forms of human-made art can be submitted! We would love to have more written pieces, including short essays, poetry, and more! We do not accept Al generated work. Unsure if your piece can be submitted? Email Eliot at wormzoneprojects@gmail.com Where can I view previous editions? Digital copies of previous editions are available for free or pay-what-you-can at honeymush.itch.io/ the same photo of moss and plants behind a text box FAQ! pt 2 Will l get my own physical copy? While we'd love to get a physical copy out to all participants for free, this isn't always feasible; some of the previous editions have been entirely funded and produced by Elliot (@honeymush) and it ends up costing quite a bit to print and mail copies to each participant. Whether or not we can send out free copies this time will be announced at a later date. Regardless, all participants WILL receive free access to both the digital zine AND a printable version that artists are free to print and distribute themselves! will I retain the rights to my work? You are free to publish and reproduce your own work outside of the zine- We ask that you wait to publish your submission piece until closer to the zine's release in order to help promote the project's release!
