submissions
now open

The submission window for Issue 5 is open until Sunday March 15th.

Profiles seeks portraiture across all visual media (that can appear in print — sorry, sculptors). We’re open to experimental twists on the definition of ‘portrait’ — we want to see a vibrant personality, however you’ve captured it. To get a sense of what we’re after, we recommend reading past issues of Profiles.

We especially welcome submissions from artists who are underrepresented in the arts due to their ethnicity, socio-economic background, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability or age.

We also accept submissions of fiction and non-fiction and are happy to accept submissions of artwork and writing from the same individual over the course of one submission period. However, please submit them using separate forms, unless they are part of the same project (in which case please use the writing submission form and combine your artwork and written piece in a single document).

We feature work from artists living in Ireland and abroad.

Ensure you read our guidelines in full before submitting your work — they are also available in OpenDyslexic font.

Please note submissions are not accepted by email — please follow the link in our guidelines to submit via a dedicated Google form.
