Out of Bounds is a journal for emerging creatives of many genres, including illustration, photography, poetry, essays, and comics. Quarterly themed calls open up, and creatives respond with unique interpretations for publication. Out of Bounds is seeking artists and authors to respond to the Spring 2026 theme of Metamorphosis. Work that is experimental, personal, and underrepresented in mainstream fine arts spaces is especially welcome here.
Out of Bounds is a multi-genre anthology publication founded by Luke Mars, Bailey Smith, and Finn Smith in 2025. Issues are published digitally and in print. Accepted creatives retain all rights to their work. Out of Bounds is printed in black & white, and images must be submitted accordingly.
The deadline for Out of Bounds: Metamorphosis is April 30th, 2026.
Submit your work via outofboundspress.com/submissions and contact editors@outofboundspress.com with inquiries.
