Explicit sexuality and violence must be avoided. It could be a previously published piece. Submissions should speak to the need for women to scream for their rights, raise morale and self-esteem, or embody a message of hope. * (See below for submission format).

Participating categories: Painting, illustration, digital art and/or drawing.
Submit only one (1) digital file per participating art or illustration, in high resolution. It must stand for one or more female figure and must be related to any of the Woman Scream Festival’s themes. Also, must be suitable for all audiences and social networks sharing and must not represent violence or explicit sexuality in any shape or form *. (See submission format below).

Our team will choose the cover of the book among the works received as long as we show interest in any works submitted. In this case, the selected artist will be featured in the book along with their photo and biography.

*We will be selecting based on quality, theme’s relevance to our cause and guidelines complying. We reserve the admission right to reject any work that does not stand for the purpose of this call.

The book will be available for purchase to participating artists and the public through Amazon.com. You won’t need to buy a copy to participate. All fund raised as result of this book, will be destined to creating more opportunities for artists to participate in our projects.
