New call for entries open now! Send us your rural portraits.
We invite submissions for hinterlands magazine’s upcoming issue “Black & White” . This one will be special: Focusing on rural PORTRAITS of all kinds. Thus we are looking for portraits of people, iconic rural places (e.g. the farm, the gas station, the corner shop) or objects that belong to life in the countryside. The portrait can be in written or visual form. We welcome submissions that are grounded in a personal connection to the rural area.
After four colourful issues, we go back to basics. At a time when we are facing uncertainties and political turmoil, opposing sides have hardened. These contrasts and contradictions are everywhere, also between city and country. Beyond these hardened fronts, we want to collect very personal stories, life trajectories and episodes that show the situation and life-worlds of people living in remote regions of Europe. These are not only black and white, but of various greys in between.
hinterlands is a print magazine for rural realities. In narrative as well as visual formats, hinterlands magazine presents local rural stories from all over Europe and aims to create a transgressive understanding of rurality. The magazine features observations from beyond the city centers. hinterlands is self-funded by the three founders of the magazine. As an independent DIY project, we do not have the financial means to adequately pay the contributors at the moment. Thus we offer a small compensation of 50 euros per contributing person.
Please send until 1st of October:
- short bio of yourself
- short bio of the person you are interviewing / portraying
- outline or sketch of the interview / portrait you are planning to do
(up to 1 page) - feel free to play with the form of the interview / portrait
