Closing: Rolling submissions (no fixed deadline)
The Reflective Creative Journal (RCJ) is an online publication seeking visual essay submissions from creatives practicing in visual arts disciplines. Open to all, including international submissions, the journal welcomes reflective content that captures new ideas, projects, collaborations, and learning experiences. Submissions should combine 3-8 low-resolution images with 250-500 words in a visual essay format, showing curiosity and reflecting on learning experiences. The journal supports early-career creatives by sharing learning experiences in visual arts, including encounters with exhibitions, publications, fresh ways of working, and creative inspiration. Submissions go through peer review by an editorial board. This is an unpaid publishing opportunity that aims to help creatives understand, improve, and grow. The journal is published regularly throughout the year as content is selected, and all issues are available as free-to-view PDFs.
