submission theme
The theme for our print journal and Conference in 2019 is (Extra)ordinary Humans.
Submitted work should fall within this broad theme. Topics may include (but is not limited to) human interest pieces, international politics and security, human migration and the refugee crisis, development, economic issues, food scarcity, environmental issues, international organizations, endangered cultures and so forth. You may cover an issue at the local as well as the international level.
The written section can be in the form of a journalistic article, essay, academic paper, travel narrative, or creative writing. Note: we are not an academic journal. Make sure that submissions are edited for use of proper spelling, sentence structure and grammar. The accompanying photographs should have a connection to your written work. When submitting photographs, consider composition, creativity, relevance and quality. We're looking for dynamic photography that tells a story. Please ensure that consent has been properly communicated to subjects that are photographed.

Submissions will be reviewed upon 3 main criteria:
