Open Arts Forum operates as a literary magazine with an open, rolling submissions policy, signaling a continuous reading period rather than a fixed contest deadline. This structure suggests an editorial stance that values ongoing engagement with new work over the pressure of time-bound calls, allowing writers to submit when their manuscripts are ready rather than when a calendar dictates. The magazine's stated genres—fiction, poetry, and nonfiction—indicate a broad literary scope, though the absence of further guidelines or a description excerpt leaves the specific aesthetic or thematic inclinations of the editors unspecified. Submitters should therefore approach the forum as a general-interest literary publication, one that may prioritize craft and voice across traditional forms without a declared preference for experimental or conventional modes. Because no fee or prize is listed, the opportunity is best understood as a standard submission call for publication consideration, not a contest. Writers should expect a reading process typical of literary magazines: editorial review, possible revision requests, and publication in an issue or online edition. The lack of a stated deadline means submissions are accepted on an ongoing basis, but it also places the burden on the writer to ensure their work meets the magazine's implicit standards of literary quality.
