Are you a LGBTQIA+ artist or writer local to the DMV, especially Northern Virginia? Are you 13 or older? NoVA Prism Center is looking for contributors for the second issue of our community zine, The Lantern! Also, WE HEARD YOU: We will be including works by teenage creators (Age 13+) in our Pride Month issue!

All works must somehow represent being LGBTQIA+ in the greater Washington, DC Metro Area (with preference for Northern VA). The rest is up to you! Submit your work to our Google Form at https://forms.gle/Cxnk7MaKYjDVn3Xu6

A note on compensation: We're working out a few wrinkles in how we compensate our contributors. While we cannot share details now, we at NoVA Prism Center vehemently believe that creative labor should be compensated, and we will keep in touch with accepted contributors about what this will look like for the second issue of The Lantern. We see you, and we know that exposure does not buy groceries. 🫶

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: 4/30/2023
ACCEPTANCE NOTIFICATION: 5/15/2023
RELEASE SCHEDULE: June 2023
