Seeking Poets, Writers, Designers, Artists...
We're looking for creative humans.
This year's pacificREVIEW: A West Coast Arts Review Annual asks what "Tomorrow" means to you.
Throughout history, storytellers and artists have been the unsung architects of the future. Envisioning the world as it may be through neon lenses or a glass, darkly. Tomorrow seems daunting in complete darkness, so we call upon storytellers and artists once more to be soothsayers. Five seconds from now, the day after today, twenty-five years later, or the year 3000, lend the world your vision and walk us into the times ahead.
Through visual art, poetry, prose, physical or digital, this year's contributors are asked to look forward and define what tomorrow looks like to them.
Please submit your essays, art, photography, poetry, short stories, music or comix! Digital-born and experimental work is welcome and encouraged!
We will not accept A.I. generated or assisted works. If it is discovered your submission has utilized A.I. tools, it will be rejected immediately.
Multiple submissions are welcome and will be reviewed on a rolling basis. Accepted contributors will be notified in Spring 2025.
