SubMissions Are Open For Issue #4!
Our Annual Call For Submissions is Open!
We're currently accepting submissions for our fourth issue of our zine, The Lantern! Featuring exclusively LGBTQIA+ creators from the DC Metro area, The Lantern is an exploration and a celebration of the myriad experiences of being LGBTQIA+ while living in and around our nation's capital. In a region torn between Southern history and the epicenter of present day politics, our local culture is a vibrant scene of activism through love.
The Lantern is an annual zine that focuses on teen and adult experiences. While the zine acts as a fundraiser for NoVA Prism Center, it is primarily a showcase of local creators and perspectives.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:
- We're accepting music, short film, writing, and visual art submissions!
- We operate on a profit-share model, and all accepted contributors will be compensated.
- Submissions close on August 31, 2025
