Submissions are now open for the upcoming theme of...
RITUAL
/ˈrɪtʃ.u.əl/
What does Ritual mean to you? Is it the quiet repetition of daily acts, the sacredness of tradition, or the spontaneous gestures that give rhythm to your life? Ritual can be as intimate as the carefully poured morning coffee or as expansive as the ceremonial gatherings that bind communities together. It can be inherited, invented, playful, solemn, private, or public. Rituals may be comforting or disruptive, ancient or emerging, collective or solitary. They might connect us to the past, anchor us in the present, or guide us toward the future.
How do rituals shape identity, memory, and belonging? What happens when rituals are broken, reimagined, or performed in new contexts? Can art itself be a form of ritual — a practice that transforms both maker and witness?
As always the theme is open to interpretation and we look forward to receiving your submissions.
Submissions will close on 28th February 2026
