Hello and WELCOME to the FRIENDCITIES CONTRIBUTOR PORTAL.
the alert zone (updated: 10/14/2025)
the votes are in and the prompts are out...
- the prompts for FRIENDCITIES VOL. 10:
now that the prompts are revealed, all of us contributors will have until Sunday, November 23rd 2025 to create as many pieces as you can for FRIENDCITIES VOL. 10!!!
for this zine it is MANDATORY that each contributor contribute at least 1 PIECE. our 10th volume is a big milestone and we want to showcase everyone who is involved with making us who we are.
general zine procedure
so, generally we start things by announcing that we are starting a new zine! after that we submit prompts, that is unless we already planned the prompts ahead of time for an event or special issue. there will be a zine prompt submission form where you can sub,it as many prompts as you would like. after the prompt submission time has passed, each and every prompt is put into a prompt vote where we can all vote for the prompts that we want to use for the upcoming zine. the top 3-4 prompts will be used to make the upcoming zine! the prompts that are selected by the contributors will be posted here with the deadline attached! after that you are set free to create whatever form of art that you like (including but not limited to: drawings, photography, collaging, ceramics, poetry, magazine articles, think pieces, personal anecdotes, mixed media...). you can interpret the prompts however you like, there are no wrong answers. when the deadline has been reached, the editing team will put all of the extra pages, submissions, and other goodies together to make both physical zines as well as the digital release you see on our website!
