The submission call

Art in many forms, at every level of experience

This exhibition is by Autistic people, so you need to be Autistic to enter. Self-diagnosed, peer-reviewed or formally diagnosed, all welcome. Your word is enough.

You can submit under your name or as Anonymous. Artist statements and links to your website, social profile or business are optional. You can enter more than once.

Each submission asks you to choose a medium or category and disclose any AI use. AI-supported accessibility tools, including transcription, spelling and editing support, are recognised. We trust what you tell us, and we read every entry ourselves.

Writing

Paste writing or poetry into the form, or upload a PDF, TXT or Markdown file.

Audio and video

Upload an MP3 or M4A audio file. Video uses a public YouTube or Vimeo link.

Sculpture and 3D work

Show the work from every side

Upload several photos taken as you move around the piece. You can also add a YouTube or Vimeo video showing one slow rotation around it. This can be filmed on any phone.

Interactive 3D models may be added when the gallery opens, but they are optional. Creating one needs many overlapping photos and compatible capture software, so photos alone are enough to take part.

  1. Place it in steady lightA plain background and soft, even light make the shape easier to see.
  2. Photograph around itTake front, back, side and angled views. Upload up to eight.
  3. Add a rotation video if you likeMove slowly around the work, or turn it on a table while the phone stays still.
