Terra Ignota Magazine: Call for Entries

Submissions are now open for our third magazine here at Pomelo Travel. Concluding our trilogy chronicling the progression of the sun, this issue entitled Terra Ignota: Post Meridiem will explore the concept of “night”. When the sun goes down, things shift: cities come alive, shadows play, dreams flicker like starlight, and darkness brings forth new emotions. We want to explore how, just like travel, night transforms the ordinary. We’re looking for poetry, art, short essays, and photography that explores the many different connotations that night holds within its dusky grasp. 

The submission period ends November 2nd. Contributors will be notified shortly thereafter if their piece was selected.

Show us what moonlit journeys the night has taken you on. We can't wait to experience them. 

Submission period ends November 2!

Article Submission

We’re looking for articles focused around travel during the nighttime hours; dark, dreamy, unknown.  At night cities come alive, shadows play, dreams flicker like starlight, and darkness brings forth new emotions. Some of the best experiences we’ve had traveling have opened our minds to new ways of being, new cultures, and new ideas.  We would like to publish your experiences in Terra Ignota Issue #3!  We’re looking for articles 2-3 pages in length that explore these ideas. Submit them here!

If you have a longer form article (7-10 pages), we’re also interested in your work!

Photo Submission

Travel is, among other things, a startling visual experience. We’re looking for pictures that capture the color and excitement of travel, with its strange new vistas and colorful characters. Show us somewhere you’ve been that made you see with new eyes. Submit your travel photos here!

Visual Art Submission

We’re looking for art pieces that convey how travel made you feel in that moment of discovery abroad. Although photography can capture the reality of a moment in striking detail, it can sometimes miss the psychological vision that colors new experiences. Show us your unique vision through painting, sculpture or mixed media. Submit high quality scans or photos of the artwork here, along with an artist’s statement!

Poetry Submission

Poetry is a medium that is adept at capturing images and feelings, and so we’re looking for poetry inspired by travel that captures the concrete images and emotions that travel evokes. Whether inspired by a real life expedition, or a journey through the mind, we want to hear it! Send us your best work, no matter how wild it is. Submit your poetry here!
