The Gathering is looking for both art and writing submissions for
the 2021 anthology. This year’s theme is “Future Tense”

do NOT need to based in a world where the events of the episode
Future Tense happened, but they may be if the writer or artist wishes.
Submissions for both art and writing must be rated PG-13 or lower.
* Written works should not exceed 5,000 words and
may be submitted in .doc, .rtf, or .txt form. The formatting of

page and must be Portrait Oriented. Interior art must be black and
white, or grayscale. Cover submissions may be full-color, and should
include the words “Future Tense Anthology.” All artwork
must be submitted in .jpg, .tif, or .bmp form. Lower resolution
copies may be sent in for judging, but a 300 dpi version of the
image will be required for printing.
Each contributor will receive one complimentary copy of the anthology.

it could be yours!
