Afterimage:The Journal of Media Arts and Cultural Criticism, a publication of the Visual Studies Workshop, a non-profit media arts center located in Rochester, New York, is pleased to announce that the Inklight project is currently seeking new submissions. Inklight offers a unique opportunity for photographers to share their most compelling image, which, if chosen, will be posted on the journal’s web site. Writers (who, ideally, were not formerly familiar with the imagery) will then have the chance to respond to the image in prose or poetry.

Visit vsw.org/ai/inklight/ and submit your response to one image in prose or poetry. No critical responses, please. Size limit for prose: 750 words, for poetry: 25 lines. One of the written works will be selected to be published along with each original photograph on the Afterimage website.

Please send images and creative written responses to afterimage.inklight@gmail.com.

The project’s web page, and examples of previous works can be found at: vsw.org/ai/inklight/.
