Submission need-to-knows:

• Please include a brief third-person bio with your submission.
• Simultaneous submissions are allowed, just let us know as soon as possible if something you submitted gets accepted somewhere else.
• If your work contains any graphic themes (suicide, self-harm, sexual assault, etc), we ask that you please add a note to your submission to let us know. We publish all kinds of work, we just appreciate a heads up before reading through submissions that may include these themes.
• We do not accept AI generated work of any kind.

For dance submissions:

All dancers and musicians included within your work need to send written consent to Apricity so that we may publish the work. All music must be your own, uncopyrighted or given with written consent from the musician(s). Please submit your dance submission here as a "multimedia" submission or email it to [email protected] in a downloadable or viewable video format.
