» What to submit

› We can accept up to three complete works per entrant, regardless of the number of components in each work. For example, a series of related photographs can be considered a single work.
› Please clearly label which pieces need to be considered as a single work.
› Anything from the wide spectrum of visual arts is acceptable – in the past we’ve had paintings, sketches, photography, cartoons, taxidermy and toast.


» Guidelines

Work must be previously unpublished and must not be under consideration for publication elsewhere.

We make every effort to judge entries anonymously – this means that the artist’s signature must not be visible on the creative work.

Please submit visual art in JPEG, PNG or TIFF format. dotdotdash’s dimensions are 200x265mm (2480x3248 pixels), with a two-page spread being 400mm wide. Strong preference is given to work that is close to or greater than 2480x3248 pixels in size at 300dpi.

You may submit work to as many other categories as you wish (e.g. short stories, poetry, etc.), as long as you stay within the limits for each category.

While we can publish your work under pseudonyms, please include your real name on the form. The category limits (e.g. only two short stories per entrant) still apply even when using pseudonyms.

The theme for Issue 5 is ‘Feast’, but we accept themed and unthemed work alike.

The submission deadline for Issue 5 is 5pm Monday, 26 July 2010.
