Artists are also encouraged to submit to the Mary Blair Award for Art contest, which gives the opportunity to win a $1,000 prize, as well as have a small portfolio of their work featured in Issue 157. There is a $20 submission fee to enter.
We currently do not have many submissions for this year’s contest, so artists will have a better chance of winning this year.
The deadline for the Mary Blair Award for Art contest is also December 1st, 2023. For further information about the award, please visit: https://www.reedmag.org/mary-blair-award-for-art
*About Reed Magazine:
For over 150 years, Reed Magazine has published the work of artists whose narrative voices persist beyond the page, whose imagery lingers in our minds, and whose language challenges us to think, to do, and to be part of the creative legacy of our time.
Reed Magazine traces its heritage back to 1867, when the journal started as a mere pamphlet published by students of the California State Normal School, the precursor of San José State University—the oldest public institution of higher education on the West Coast.
The members of the Reed Magazine staff are committed to publishing writers and artists who might be marginalized or excluded in traditional publishing, and value the diversity of voice and perspective that such authors bring to our magazine. 2023 sees our continued efforts to publish the newest and most striking visual art and photography from around the world.
