We are excited to announce our 2025 Print Edition theme:
Eclipsed Ecologies
Tree roots, deep sea, dreams, nighttime pollinators – worlds are happening without light, hidden to us by darkness. In this darkness, there is also the self-generation of light – how bioluminescence creates its own sparkle, and how our own personal meditations come to us in the dark of reflection then provide us wisdom to light our way forward. Innumerable vibrant ecologies exist, and many are eclipsed – deliberately, passively, or simply through the gift that darkness can offer. We invite pieces that pertain to artists’ interpretation of this line of thinking, feeling, expressing, and being.
We are offering awards of $250 for the winner of each category: poetry, prose, visual arts, and photography. We will have a grand prize award of $500.
Within these art forms, we welcome any type of creativity you as an artist are compelled to submit – sci-fi, creative mapping, etc. This year’s editorial team is particularly intrigued by how nature helps us understand one another, and creates deep meaning to our time on this earth – themes of queer ecology, environmental flourishing amidst resistance, symbolism, and the sheer beauty and deep meaning of nature are very welcome, but are not exclusively sought.
Deadline for submissions is January 5. Email submissions to:
sagemagazine@gmail.com
with the subject line including “2025 Print Edition Submission” & your name & the type of piece you are submitting (prose, poetry, photography, visual art, something else we haven’t thought of, etc.). Word count limits for each piece are a maximum of 3,000 words. We will select one or two longer-form pieces, with hope of receiving shorter prose pieces as well.
See our instagram @magazine.sage to follow along, get more information, and DM us questions.
