VISUAL SUBMISSIONS

Visual Submissions: Hearts! Love! Romance!

We’re continuing our reader-sourced Murmuration section this summer, and we need your help. Each season we put out a call for photography in response to a specific theme, then pick fifteen of our favorites to run as a group of 2 x 3 images in a grid format at the front of the magazine.

This time we’re looking for images of hearts that aren’t hearts: leaves, petals, branches, buildings, bird wings shaped like hearts for our forthcoming issue about romance in the climate crisis. Submit 1-3 images, and if we select one, you’ll get a complimentary year-long subscription to Orion. Don’t worry about resolution or specs yet, but know that horizontally oriented photographs work best.

*By submitting these images to Orion for inclusion in the Murmuration section of the magazine you also grant us permission for non-exclusive potential future use of said images with proper attribution, if selected.

The submission window will run from August 15-31, 2023.
