Calling all creatives or folks who want to explore their creativity! We'd love for your expression and artistry to be showcased in the form of a zine. The theme of this zine is for folks to explore their relationship to manhood and masculinitity. UO students of any gender identity are eligible to share their submissions, and submissions will be accepted between November 1-30.

Folks can submit written works (poetry, essays and short stories no longer than two typed pages) and art (both digital and physical). These will be compiled into a zine, which will be produced during winter term and will be available at the Duck Nest and the Men's Resource Center (MRC) at a to-be-determined date. 

If you're interested in participating, you can bring your zine to the Duck Nest (EMU 041), MRC (EMU 211) or submit your work electronically here: https://oregon.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0CyEscCNDpXOjjM

This zine event is a Movember collaboration between Protection Connection and the Men's Resource Center.
