    WE DID IT!

    Thanks everyone for all your generous support!

    I know these are tough times for everyone so this means more than you can imagine!

    Originally STREP THROAT was going to come out for the Toronto Comics and Arts Festival but due to time I don't want to sacrifice the quality of the publication and it will be coming out in June for the first year of the Chicago Comics Festival.

    Prizes may come later than I stated due to the change in plans but don't worry you're all going to get the best goody bags you could imagine filled with music and art galore!

    Thanks again for all your help and spread the word around about submissions - together we can make this issue better than ever before!

    Accepting submissions!!
    5.5 w x 8.5 h (half standard page) vertical images only
    dpi 400
    color full bleed
    and the theme for this issue is synesthesia - you can interpret this has loosely as you want
    looking for comics, paintings, playlists, ads, recipes, illustrations, photos

    as for movies we are only accepting music videos
    with each music video submission please include the credits in the email

    Deadline May 10
