The White Issue: NAKID’s Call to Creativity in our fourth annual nude-editorial book!

In the ever-evolving cosmos of art and expression, NAKID magazine has stood as a beacon for the bold, the unconventional, and the downright otherworldly. Now, in its latest venture, NAKID calls upon the muses of creativity for its mesmerizing ‘White Issue.’ A canvas for the audacious, this issue is not just a collection of images – it’s a manifesto of the naked truth, undraped and unapologetic.

The White Issue is not just a publication; it’s a challenge thrown down to photographers, artists, and visionaries. The rules? Simple yet stringent. Submissions must encapsulate the essence of NAKID – odd, weird, underground, and non-mainstream. This issue seeks to be a tapestry woven from the threads of the extraordinary, featuring works that are original, unpublished, and scream creativity.

Each submission must be a pristine reflection of your artistic style and not be overly grotesque, violent, or demeaning to women, consisting of 10 to 20 images that adhere to specific size and format requirements. These images should not only capture the eye but ensnare the mind, embodying the spirit of NAKID’s mission to document and push the limits of contemporary thoughts on creativity and expression.

What sets NAKID apart is its Gonzo journalism approach. It’s not just about showcasing art; it’s about living it, breathing it, and sometimes, being scandalously intimate with it. The White Issue is expected to be a reflection of this philosophy – a melting pot of audacious narratives, all narrated through the lens of raw, unfiltered creativity.

Aspiring contributors should note that by submitting their work, they are granting NAKID and its affiliates the rights to publish and use the content across various platforms, including print issues, social media, and for promotional purposes. However, rest assured, the intellectual property rights remain with the artist, with NAKID only tweaking things for spelling, grammar, and visuals to maintain quality [oai_citation:4,Call for Work: July Submissions – NAKID magazine](https://kavyar.com/nakid-magazine/submissions/july-submissions).

This is an invitation to break free from the shackles of convention and dive headfirst into the abyss of creativity. If your work is good, it deserves to be seen, and NAKID is the platform that promises to elevate it to the stratosphere of artistic reverence.

Are you ready to be part of this groundbreaking endeavor? Grab your cameras, unleash your imagination, and let the White Issue be the canvas for your wildest, most uninhibited artistic expressions. The stage is set, the lights are dimming, and the world waits with bated breath for the next masterpiece. The question is, will it be yours?

We want you to push the limits of your artistic eye using the nude human form!

Welcome to the wild, audacious world of NAKID! Buckle up, because this isn’t your grandma’s tea party. It’s a rollercoaster ride through the uncharted territories of creativity, where nudity is not just skin, but an art form. If you’re ready to bare it all – artistically, of course – read on. But remember, with great power (and nudity) comes great responsibility.

Eligibility: Age and Consent

• The Bare Minimum: You gotta be 18 or older. No ifs, ands, or butts (well, maybe butts).
• ID Check: Whip out those IDs! Photographers and models, we need to know you’re legally in the game.
• Consent is King (and Queen): Every model in your shots must give a thumbs-up for being published. We’re all about respect here.

Submission Guidelines:

• The Golden Number: Send us no less than 10, but no more than 20 of your finest nudes.
• Size Matters: Keep it under 10MB per image. We’re not trying to break the internet, just bedazzle it.
• Tasteful and Creative: We’re not the place for your backyard nudist BBQ pics. Think art, think avant-garde, think NAKID.
• Deadline: March 1st, 2024. Mark it, tattoo it, don’t forget it.

Quality Control:

• NAKID’s Standards: If it’s not up to snuff, it’s not getting in. We’re the gatekeepers of taste.
• Review Process: We’ll eyeball every submission. But don’t call us, we’ll call you.

Rights and Permissions:

• In Perpetuity, Baby: By submitting, you’re saying “go ahead, NAKID, use my work forever.” It’s a big commitment, like a tattoo on your soul.
• Exclusivity: Once it’s with us, it’s ours. Don’t play two fields – no double-dipping in other publications or platforms.

No Guarantees:

• Publication: Just because you submit, doesn’t mean you’ll make it to the big leagues. But hey, trying is half the battle.
• Feedback: We’re busy, we’re edgy, we might not get back to you. Don’t take it personally.

Legal Mumbo Jumbo:

• You Own It, You’re Responsible: You’re saying, “Yep, this is my work, and I’m legally allowed to share it.” Don’t mess with us here.
• Indemnity: If you get us into legal hot water, you’re on the hook. Keep it clean (well, artistically dirty, but legally clean).

Changes to Terms:

• We’re the Boss: These terms can change. We evolve, we grow – it’s the NAKID way. Stay updated.

By submitting your work to NAKID, you agree to these terms, lock, stock, and smoking barrel. Now, go unleash your creative beast – with a touch of class and a dash of audacity.

Ready to bare your artistic soul? Let’s make history, one nude at a time. NAKID awaits.
