Guidelines

Becomings' first deadline for Spring submissions is April. 24,2020.

As you submit your work we'll read your poetry, prose, and writings. We also will look at your visual art in all media, watch your short films and listen to your songs. All we ask is that you keep your submissions to a manageable length/quantity.

You Should Submit your work to becomings.help@gmail.com. If you feel for any reason that you'd rather your work be published anonymously, we can make that happen. Please disclose this to us upon first submission so that we can honor that. ​

​What we're looking for

​We want art that evokes a capacity for something more - art that brings us closer to the more in the universe around us, and the more ​within the others among us. We want art that enjoys getting lost in mystery. We want art that embraces qualities of heart and mind that lead to a more spiritually engaged, emotionally intelligent way of looking at the world. Some examples:

​​attention  -  beauty  -  being present  -  compassion   -  connections  -  devotion  -  enthusiasm  -  faith
forgiveness - grace -  gratitude  - hope - hospitality - imagination  - joy -  justice - kindness - listening
love  -  meaning  -  nurturing  -  openness  -  peace - play  -  questing  -  reverence - shadow - silence
​teachers   -  transformation   -  unity  -  vision   -   wonder  -  x, the mystery  -  yearning  -  you  -  zeal

Becoming is turning into something - changing shape - developing - growing.
We want to see your becomings in your work, and we want to be challenged to change through your work.
