Submission season is open for The Magazine and themagazine, inviting artists across Canada and the United States to share their drawings with a broad audience. The process is straightforward, friendly, and designed for creators who treat art as a conversation with readers. The magazine looks for pieces that carry a clear voice, bold lines, interesting textures, and a story that can unfold on a single page. Readers should see something unexpected yet familiar, a moment that invites a second look. The Magazine values work from every level of experience, from students to established illustrators, and welcomes a wide range of styles, from spare ink studies to richly layered color pieces. For audiences in Canada and the United States, submissions should travel well on screens and in print, stay legible at various sizes, and maintain their impact when reproduced in grayscale or color. Submissions are reviewed by editors who weigh composition, narrative potential, and how well a piece can fit the magazine’s page design. Artists are encouraged to keep the core image intact and present scans or photos at high resolution with minimal distortion, so the artwork remains faithful to the creator’s intent.
Preparing a strong submission means selecting a piece that feels complete and confident, cropping to clean edges, and saving in formats that editors commonly accept such as PNG or TIFF with a resolution that preserves detail. The submission flow is designed to be simple and respectful of the artist’s time. A short caption that communicates the concept, a brief note about the piece if desired, and credits that are concise help the editors understand the context without clutter. The publication team values originality and a clear sense of purpose, so creators are encouraged to share what the drawing means to them, what inspired the scene, and how the image would appear on the magazine page. The final decision rests with editors, but a submission that stands out tends to be well lit, sharply focused, and balanced within the frame. For readers in Canada and the United States, art that feels local in spirit yet universal in its appeal tends to resonate across both print and digital editions. Submissions imply permission to publish in print and online, with the rights to reuse the image across The Magazine’s channels for promotional and archival purposes. In the end, the aim is to celebrate the artist’s vision and offer readers a window into a moment of creative expression that speaks across borders.
