Submissions are now open on the theme of environmental migration.

Migration is increasingly being driven by environmental issues, and climate change is set to create mass migration of hundreds of millions in the decades to come. We must tell the stories of ‘environmental migrants’ so that their need to move is better understood in the countries receiving them, and so that we increase our resolve to reduce greenhouse emissions so more people can remain in their own communities.

All forms of writing and visual art will be considered: fiction, non-fiction, poetry, film, animation and photography. You may wish to investigate a particular issue, to provide commentary, reportage or expert analysis. Or you may wish to review a book, a film, a piece of music, art or theatre connected to migration. For more information, read our guidelines for submissions.

Interested? Get in touch with Lacuna magazine to discuss your pitch at hello@lacuna.org.uk. Final deadline for submissions on this theme: 30th November 2016.
