Mad black formal sunflowers in the sunset,
spied on by our own eyes
under the shadow of the mad
locomotive riverbank sunset
Frisco hilly tincan evening sitdown vision.

– Excerpt from Sunflower Sutra by Allen Ginsberg

The Community Voice is our place to share the wonder of our community. You.

  • After an overwhelmingly wonderful flood of submissions for our special 2021/22 Summer zine, we decided to make all zines dedicated to our Community's (your) voices!
  • So, every season we now seek a diversity of submissions in response to our current topic.
  • You can approach the topic in whatever way you feel. Respond in text, sound, colour, photos, pixels; there are no boundaries. (Yes, we will find a way to print your sounds!)
  • Our last topic (for our current Summer zine) was →NGAMIY←, Taungurung for, 'Sun', also forming the base word for other words like Summer.
  • We are currently taking a short break from Community Voice submissions while we prepare a very special issue of our Autumn 2023 Zine (watch this space!).
  • We will be announcing our Winter 2023 topic when we launch that Autumn zine this coming March :)

Each selected piece is:

  • Rewarded a 3-pack of our wines (Please note that we can only send wine within Australia - but everyone, from anywhere, is still welcome to submit for the pure joy of it!)
  • Featured in our riso-printed ZINE, here on our website, and shared with our community via our mailing list & social media.

Next selection date.

SUBMISSIONS CURRENTLY CLOSED. NEW TOPIC WILL BE ANNOUNCED IN MARCH 2023 AFTER NEW AUTUMN ZINE HAS LAUNCHED!
