How to Submit

Brainchild will be accepting submissions from October 1, 2020 to January 29, 2021.

All submissions received during the reading period will be carefully considered and reviewed. Our response time will vary according to the number of submissions. We make every effort to respond to all submissions within four months of receipt.

You will find a live link to our Submittable submissions portal beginning September 1. All work must be submitted via this online portal. Submissions will not be accepted via email or mail. Creating a Submittable account is free, and you can easily keep track of your submissions using your account. There is no fee for submissions.

What We're Looking For

We welcome creators from all backgrounds at any stage in their artistic journey to submit their best work. We crave art that provokes a range of feelings: vulnerability, connection, intensity. We want art that surprises us, challenges us, draws us into its expressions and forms, guides our eyes from the next page to the next. We are proud to serve as a vehicle that brings works of art from emerging artists into the world. We hope that you will join us in our mission to share art by submitting your work to us.
