New Plains Review, a literary and arts journal with a four-decade publishing history, is assembling its 40th anniversary issue and has issued an open call for visual art and photography. The journal's stated interest lies in work that pushes boundaries and brings new forms to life, without requiring adherence to any particular region or identity. This is a juried opportunity for artists working across photography, painting, sketch, collage, sculpture, graphic, and experimental media to place work before a readership accustomed to serious literary and visual culture. The selected work will appear in the anniversary issue, and submissions in this genre are also considered for the issue's cover art. The journal explicitly encourages art and artists from intersectional or marginalized identities, signaling a curatorial posture attentive to voices historically underrepresented in print. There is no prize or honorarium attached to the call as stated; the value is publication and the visibility of the anniversary context. Applicants should note two firm constraints. First, work including a recognizable human face cannot be accepted, owing to privacy and copyright restrictions. Second, AI-generated or AI-assisted content is not permitted. Submissions are limited to five single-file images, with most file types accepted, including PDF, .doc, .docx, .jpeg, and .png. Each submission must be clearly titled individually. A submission fee of $3.00 (USD) applies.
