Split Lip Magazine, an independent literary and arts publication, invites Black artists to submit one high-resolution image or a link to a portfolio for its art and photography category. This call is explicitly designated for Black artists only, and there is no submission fee. The magazine accepts previously published online material, broadening the scope of eligible work. The deadline is December 16, 2026. The curatorial language is deliberately expansive: the editors seek 'everyday & unusual art,' work that is 'subtle' or 'loud & kinda punk,' 'lowbrow,' 'pop-surreal,' 'hyperreal,' or 'abstract.' The stated vision resists a single aesthetic register, instead favoring art that is 'steeped in memory & awareness' and that 'reminds us of our humanity.' This is not a call for a unified theme but for a plurality of voices and approaches within Black artistic practice. Artists are asked to submit one image or a portfolio link, with no multiple submissions; the magazine requests that contributors wait for a response before submitting again. There is no prize or exhibition attached, but the opportunity offers publication in a magazine known for its discerning literary and visual curation. The absence of a fee and the acceptance of previously published work lower barriers to entry, aligning with the magazine's apparent interest in work that lives beyond traditional institutional gatekeeping.
