I read through the Guidelines for submissions and had a few questions. The guidelines for art state the art size should accommodate for an A4 sized paper, but what are the resolution guidelines? 300dpi is considered standard for print resolution and is (I believe) the current industry standard for illustration/photography in general, so I was assuming 300dpi would be the requirement, but 72dpi is considered sufficient for web display, which might make sense for a digital-only zine just as a means of reducing final file size.
Also just to clarify this guideline: "he total submitted is no larger than two A4 pages worth of space." Does this mean multiple artworks can be submitted so long as they fit on a 2 A4 page spread?
Yes, these are correct assumptions and how submissions work.
For resolution: in theory either will do for the zine purposes. You are correct that 72dpi is sufficient for screen display and this will be a digital only anthology, so if you wish to only use the illustration for digital only purposes, then you may use this resolution. However, given the page size, if you are an artist that would like to possibly use your illustration for other means after the anthology is completed and permissions have been given to show your work fully (Aug. 8th, 2026), like say use it as a print, then we recommend formatting for that end goal with 300dpi and for CMYK print space.
For submissions: yes, multiple works can be submitted as long as it is at or under the guidelines. What is written on our carrd is the guidelines for the MAXIUM that can be submitted per person to the anthology. In the case of an illustrator, multiple works can be submitted as long as it fits within 2 A4 pages (ex. one page can be divided to accommodate 2 smaller illustrations). For submissions, we would like to give the most flexibility to our contributors on what they would like to put forth. For instance, since we are accepting NSFW submissions, an artist does not have to choose to do only SFW or only NSFW if they do not wish, as the guideline allows for 2 pages total.
Hopefully this clears up your questions, but if you have any more, feel free to reach out again. Thank you for asking!
An Important Update! 📣🐙
