Things to Note Before You Submit:
Umläut is a journal dedicated to high school artists. We only accept submissions from students in 9-12 grade.
Umläut editions are published annually. Our reading period for the upcoming edition (2025) is from 10/28/2024 to 1/10/2025, and anything submitted after these dates will unfortunately not be included.
Submissions are free! Unfortunately however, we do not provide compensation to our artists (but you get the joy of it all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
We accept simultaneous submissions, but please indicate that your piece has been submitted elsewhere. Also, please let us know if your piece is submitted elsewhere. We do not accept previously published work (this does not include anything published on personal social media).
Please do not submit more than 5 pieces. Also, we will only accept a maximum of 2 pieces per artist.
Submission Formatting
Text submissions must be in the form of a PDF. Works over 1500 words will only be considered for online publication.
Visual submissions must be a JPG, PNG, or TIFF file, and your file must be minimum 300dpi. Please submit a scan or a photo with even lighting. Please note that we are currently unsure about our ability to print in color. However, if your image is accepted for the magazine cover, it will be in color.
Audio submissions must be an MP3 file.
Video submissions must be an MOV file.
Please also note that none of the accepted video or audio pieces will be included in the print edition, as we are unfortunately not wizards.
We can’t wait to hear from you! The button above will direct you to the Google Form for submitting. If you are confused by the requirements or details, feel free to send us an email at umlautkingdom@gmail.com with any questions.
