Open Call for Ding Studio's 5th Year Printed Issue

About the Open Call

Once an art magazine, now a creative studio, we’re celebrating our 5th year with a brand new printed issue. And you’re invited to submit your work—in any discipline you like (brand identity, posters, typefaces, paintings, illustrations, poems, photography, etc.), as long as it can be printed. To help maintain the quality of the magazine, we charge a submission fee of €25. As an extra, you’ll also receive a discounted rate on one of our brand workshops or services—because if you’re ready to share your story, we’re here to help you shape it. The magazine will be distributed worldwide at dingcreative.studio/shop (online soon).

What is Offered

Shortlisted submissions will be featured across social media platforms (including Instagram as a collaborative carousel) and receive a complimentary copy of the magazine. Selected creatives will be featured with a two-page spread in the printed magazine, including a bio statement, website, and 2–5 featured works.
