Submissions are now open for the second 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 second edition is Should I Stay or Should I Go. You can interpret this theme in any way you want. For example you could think about this in a literal sense like whether or not to move away from the Island, or in relation to other big decisions or questions. It’s entirely up to you how you respond! Visual artwork may be loosely related to the theme.
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, details for this event tbc.
This is your platform to share your views, ideas, and creativity.
