Submissions are now open for the fourth edition of the Brave Island Zine! The zine shines a spotlight on the diverse creativity of young people living on the Isle of Wight, as well as giving you an opportunity to share your voice and views on anything.
The theme of the fourth edition is Can You Hear Us? You can interpret this theme in any way you want. You could take is your voice as a young person being heard by others, or about the Isle of Wight sometimes feeling like it’s left behind by the rest of the world, it’s entirely up to you how to respond! Visual artwork may be loosely related to the theme.
We chose this theme to tie into CAN YOU HEAR US, a six-week programme of creativity and culture taking place across every part of the Island, delivered by Creative Island and a number of partner organisations from across the Isle of Wight.
You can submit anything that can be included on an A5 page, in colour or black & white. This could be:
– A piece of artwork
– Photography
– Poetry
– Creative Writing (eg a story)
– Articles (eg an opinion piece/column)
– Interviews
Or anything else you’d like to share! If you submit artwork or photography, this can be scanned in or submitted digitally. If you submit any writing, it can be up to a maximum of 400 words so it can be spread across a double page.
This Zine is released quarterly, with a free launch event to celebrate each edition. This is the last planned edition for this year, and will launch at the brand-new Brave Island Festival in Sandown this October!
This is your platform to share your views, ideas, and creativity.
