CALL FOR YOUTH SUBMISSIONS

June 20, 2024 by the ILLUSTORIA team

We currently have a Call for Kid Art! This is an opportunity for a talented young artist you know to have their work published in the next print issue of the magazine.⁠

Prompt: ⁠Submit a drawing of an ALIEN! Questions to ponder: What does your alien look like? Does it have purple skin and scales, or perhaps it’s made of metal? Does it survive on birthday cake alone? Does it have a rad space suit? Is your alien charismatic, or does it hope to take over planet Earth?

Chosen artwork will be published in Illustoria 25: COMICS, which will come out November 2025. Submit work to⁠ "youthsubmissions@mcsweeneys.net" with the subject line “Alien” for a chance to have it featured. Deadline: Monday, July 1, 2024. ⁠

Include the artist’s name, age, city, and state. This call is open to artists up to 14 years old anywhere in the world. ⁠⁠Art by Elizabeth Haidle.
