Clamor is open to submissions for the 2025 issue until February 19, 2025.

Clamor is the University of Washington Bothell’s annual Literary and Arts Journal, representing the best creative practices in literary, visual and media formats from across our campus and the surrounding community. It is open to UW and Cascadia students and teachers (past and former), and anyone within the UW and Cascadia community.  

Our goal is to support and promote captivating, inspiring, and lively art in the forms of visual, literary and media work.

In keeping with the School of Interdisciplinary Arts and Science's core learning objectives, we advocate arts across all disciplines.

We provide artists and authors with publication opportunities through our print edition and our website. We foster community by reaching beyond the UW Bothell campus borders for creative works and by offering audiences quality reading, viewing and listening experiences.

Please note: Clamor does not accept work that has been previously published. We accept pieces published on social media. We accept simultaneous submissions. Please DO NOT submit simultaneous or multiple pieces within the same submission and document. Each submission should only contain one piece. Please withdraw your work if it has been accepted elsewhere. For clarification, email clamor@uw.edu.

As is standard with creative works, all rights revert to authors and artists after publication. Submitted works may be featured in future Clamor promotional campaigns without alterations unless given written/verbal consent from the artist.

Clamor publishes artistic content in all forms, including visual art, creative writing, foreign language works (with translations by the artist), media, video and audio. We also accept recordings of original performance or dance. Our print journal includes: poetry, prose, creative non-fiction, photography, painting, drawing, digital art, visual images of sculpture, pottery, jewelry, and graphic art. Our web edition also includes media content: video, music, audio art and experimental media, as well as documentation of performance work.  Examples can be found on our website, https://clamor-journal.com.

When signing up for a submittable account to submit your work to Clamor, we recommend you use an email that will remain active until Summer of the current year. Academic emails, including UWB emails, are often deactivated after graduation or final courses are completed.

The Clamor editorial board acknowledges we are on ancestral lands stolen from Indigenous people of the Pacific Northwest Coast. UWB campus sits on the original territory belonging to the Sts'ahp-absh (Willow people) and we recognize the Indigenous peoples and nations of this stolen land as its original stewards and caretakers. We value and encourage submissions from Indigenous voices.
