No-fee 9
Overview
This open call, presented by Calls & Opportunities, invites submissions across an unusually broad spectrum of creative disciplines. Without a specified deadline or prize, the contest functions as a platform for visibility and professional recognition rather than a traditional award. It is a no-fee opportunity, removing financial barriers to entry and signaling a commitment to accessibility. The scope is deliberately interdisciplinary, encompassing literary forms (poetry, fiction, nonfiction, essay, flash fiction, translation) alongside visual and time-based media (photography, film, music, visual art, digital art, hybrid). This suggests a curatorial interest in work that resists easy categorization or that engages multiple traditions. The absence of a stated theme or juror information places the emphasis on the submitted work itself, inviting artists to present their most resolved and ambitious projects. While the prize is unspecified, the value of such a call lies in its potential to connect practitioners with a wider audience and to foster cross-disciplinary dialogue. It is best suited to those who can articulate their practice clearly and who are prepared to submit work that stands on its own merits, without the scaffolding of a thematic prompt.
