Art

In order to protect artists, Robot Communism will only be including art in the print version of the zine.  We accept up to five pieces of art at a time for one issue; but that does not guarantee that the culmination of all the art sent will appear in a single zine--they may be distributed throughout various issues.  Send in your work  to robotcommunism@gmail.com as either a .gif or .jpg image attachment {with "Art Submission" in the subject line}.  Links to image hosting sites may be accepted, but it may not appear in the magazine as the size you intend.  Please do not send RC a link to your personal webpage requesting we simply "pick one."  Send specific artwork you believe to be relevant to themes of the magazine.

Cover art is also accepted with only one stipulation:  there must be a red robot somewhere.  The same rules for art included within the publication pertain to cover art.  However, please include "Cover Art" in the subject line of your e-mail.

Videos ||NEW||

Robot Communism is now accepting videos for inclusion on the website version of the magazine.  We are accepting up to three video submissions at a time of content relating to the themes of the zine.  Videos can be of any length.  You can submit your video as a link from sites such as YouTube or Google Videos, or you can attach movie clip files to an e-mail sent to:  robotcommunism@gmail.com with "Video Submission" as the subject.
