SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
for
FLomZINEm N°1.
ALL MATERIALS MUST BE SUBMITTED THROUGH THE UPLOAD FEATURES that will be part of the 423ZERФ web page.
The web page will be available for ONE DAY ONLY thursday 23 april 2020 and WE WILL CUT OFF SUBMISSIONS at MIDNIGHT PACIFIC DAYLIGHT TIME – with the plan being we finish production on the ZINE before we cross the International Date Line, ending 23 April 2020.
Anything submitted AFTER the site is down will not be considered. Well, because the UPLOAD tool will be gone.
THE FINAL edition of FlomZINEm N°1. will be available as a PDF download.
content
We’re pretty much keeping things open/extremely flexible creatively for this first FlomZINEm.
The graphic design will be based on the AVANT GARDE art journals of the ORIGINAL MODERNS, the DADAists, Futurists, Surrealists, and beyond.
Our derTung blog is a güd example of wat we normally publish, as is wat we stream on our podcast.
We are looking for nü things and – based on our recent manifesto – for us, nü means ‘MODERN.’
ART
WE’RE looking for PAINTINGS, PHOTOGRAPHY, ILLUSTRATION, SCULPTURE, DESIGN, just about anything that falls in the category of ‘ART.’
WRITING
THE WRITTEN WORKS of AUTHORS, JOURNALISTS, POETS, HISTORIANS, BARDS, THEORISTS, STUDENTS, MANIACS, and pretty much ANYONE WHO MAKES WORDS of SOME SORT. AND they don’t actually have to be WORDS.
OTHER STUFFS
“Simply put: Surprise us! We ❤ surprises!”
tech specs + important things
Page size for FlomZINEm will be European A3 (297 x 420 mm, 11.7 x 16.5″) – we are designing this to be a LARGE publication, tho final downloadable PDF can be read online or printed at any size.
With this is mind – in the best version of our universe – all artwork will be CYMK-friendly, colour corrected with pixel-based images at 300 dpi and vector files ready to print.
Tho, we do not live in a perfect universe, so we’re going to do something totally wrong here, that being: WE’LL ACCEPT ANYTHING YOU SEND US.
AND if it doesn’t print well or if you can’t see it in the ZINE cause it’s too light or too dark, well, too bad.
We’re assuming FlomZINEm will mostly be viewed online – so this time out, we’re not going to worry about too many tech and resolution details. This all said …
• First come first served for space in the ZINE.
• We reserve the right to edit and simply not use everything submitted. If some materials better fit our blogs, we will let you know.
• Please let us know how you’d like to be credited. Real name or not. We would love to promote your social networks or website.
• Copyright: You own your own copyright. We will credit YOU with a circle © unless you state otherwise.
• All work must be your own. Cause if it isn’t, that’s not cool.
• Text must be in a text file or a Google Doc (preferred). Unless it is artwork. Please do not send us text in a Photoshop file unless it’s art.
• Flatten your damn Photoshop file! If your files are too large and we cannot download them, we probably won’t include them in the ZINE.
• We reserve the right to change all this in case we forgot something here. It IS our very first ZINE.
• Remember to be nice to others, eat all your veggies, but always wash them first. The veggies. Maybe the others too.
updates as we finalize our plans
will be posted on Facebook,
on derTung (be sure to SUBSCRIBE),
and on @FLOMMUS Instagram/Twitter.
FLOMM 423 is an entirely volunteer-run, kinda annual event – if you’d like to be involved, drop us a note (or send us a message on our Facebook page) … Otherwise, once again 423 will be a time + space where we all come together to make + appreciate art + maybe meet others who do the things.
While fucking stuck at home.
