BHM is an arts & lifestyle magazine focused on challenging perceptions. Challenging perceptions can include any voice that presents an alternative point of view or encourages and inspire others to think differently about a specific topic. We strive to post articles at least once a week that fall under these four categories: The Canvas (visual arts); The Stage (performance arts); The Screen (media arts); The Street (lifestyle). Be sure to read a few articles from the category you are interested in to get a general sense of content and tone.
BHM prides itself in being pop-up ad and filter free so we avoid censorship where we can, although we do reserve the right to not publish an article if it doesn't follow the following criteria:
- content should be original and include references or proof of authorized use for all non-original content
- highlight elements that challenge perceptions
- be clear and concise- avoid overly prosaic descriptions, long lists, or industry-specific lingo without a definition
- make a connection- talk TO the reader, not AT the reader
- have an organized article-like format and narrative structure (see forms and samples below)- don't sound like a blog
WHAT HAPPENS ONCE YOU SUBMIT?
- give us a week or two to review and respond (every valid submission will get a reply)
- all accepted articles are edited and finalized in collaboration with BHM over a reasonable period of time and depending on volume
- articles are posted only after the contributor/s approve and can be removed at anytime at their or BHM's discretion
- contributors enter into a non-paid casual cross-promotional agreement with BHM once an article is posted to promote or republish as they see fit
- the article may be selected for a limited print run issue and the contributor may be invited to a BHM sponsored event
