Organizer Information
Limited public information is available about OBJECTivity Journal beyond what the platform states about itself. Its mission is to connect artists and writers to the public, publishing work that prioritizes themes on the material culture of objecthood, while not exclusive to work that falls outside this focus. The journal is newly established, with this call for entry being for its inaugural issue, and it does not yet have prior published issues, press coverage, or an extensive public track record available for independent verification.
Title & Description

Submissions are accepted through two separate channels — one for art, one for writing — each with its own format and file requirements.
