SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

• 1 to 4 pieces of visual art as separate .jpeg or .png files
  • Attaching alt-text is appreciated (if doing so, use a .pdf, .doc/.docx, or .txt file), however we are also willing to work with you to create alt-text.
• 1 video up to 10 minutes of footage, sent as an .mp4 file
• 1 to 2 audios up to 10 minutes total, sent as an .mp3 file
  • For videos and audios, we will work with you to create a transcript to be included alongside your work.

All accepted artists will receive a five dollar ($5) honorarium.

No AI-created works. No discriminatory, gory, or excessively sexual content (when in doubt, submit with content warnings, but gory works are extremely hard sells). Our editor-in-chief loves writing about intimacy, but there is a limit!

We do accept previously published pieces, but only if you have permission from the previous publisher. Specify this in your cover letter. We also allow pieces from Artists from Maryland to be published elsewhere after the fact, with credit!

We do accept simultaneous submissions. Specify this in your cover letter, and notify us immediately if part of your submission is accepted elsewhere so we can congratulate you.

We request the nonexclusive rights to publish your works with us. Artists maintain the right to republish the work they publish with us, elsewhere, after our publication.

Submissions are currently CLOSED. All submissions emailed to us at this time will be deleted unread.

For any questions, contact us at artistsfrommaryland [at] gmail [dot] com.
