Submit your best art pieces to Geist! Deadline: June 2, 2025

Geist is open for Art Submissions

Calling all artists, photographers, and collage-makers: there is only one week left to submit your art to our open call! We’re looking for art and photography (traditional, digital, mixed media, etc.) to accompany written work in the magazine. We also seek to publish art and photo essays with text by the artist.

Send us your best work through submittable by June 2, 2025 at 11:59pm PST.

Please take a look at our website for examples, and read our Submission Guidelines to find out more about what we're looking for and our payment rates: geist.com/submit


We encourage applications and submissions from BIPOC artists and writers, artists and writers with disabilities, LGBTQIA2S+ artists and writers, and artists and writers from other intersectional and marginalized groups.


Overheard Across Canada for Geist
