Guidelines

Becomings' first deadline for fall submissions is August 5th.

We'll read your poetry, prose, and writings in-between. 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.

Submit your work to becomingscollective@gmail.com. If you feel for any reason that you'd rather your work be published anonymously, we can make that happen.

​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.
