Call for Submissions of Theme of "The City": Black Coffee & Vinyl Presents

Black Coffee & Vinyl Presents (www.blackcoffeevinyl.com) is a multimedia art project that incorporates literature, visual art, and music around a theme. The first theme explored glaciers, ice, and the cultures connected to the world's ice. For the second of four installments of this project, we will explore the theme of "The City." 

We are seeking art, words, and sounds that explore, critique, celebrate and interrogate the urban landscape, culture and environment. The city, a place, should play a central role in the work and should be a central character or focus. We are seeking a diverse range of city representation from large cities to small, from real to imagined.

We will be selecting an equal representation among literature, art, and sound for publication, which will be released online at www.blackcoffeevinyl.com. Contributors each receive $50 for publication, made payable by PayPal. 

Please note that submissions should be provided in English. Please also note that contributors should submit in one category or genre only for consideration.

Nonfiction -- Not to exceed 2,000 words 
Poetry -- Not to exceed three poems 
Fiction -- Not to exceed 2,000 words
