Loco Mag (locomag.com) is seeking talented writers, photographers, videographers, designers, and interviewers to contribute to our latest issue! Loco is a lifestyle and culture magazine always on the hunt for new articles, photospreads, and fresh takes on student perspectives. We’re not strictly a news publication. We want to hear your voice and read your stories.
Our theme for our newest issue is Are You Kidding Me? And no, we’re not kidding.
We want stories that will make us cry (from laughter or sadness) and satirical takes on anything in the world we live in today. Write an in-depth piece about the origin of April Fool’s Day, interview your wannabe comedian buddy, or dive into the hot button issue of the “It Was Just A Joke” excuse that is sometimes used to mask prejudices. This is also your chance to capture your best prank stunts on film, get the story behind laughing tracks on sitcoms, and share moments in television that you’re still in disbelief over. And we’re not just stopping at humor — we’re also accepting submissions from talented kid’s out there, as well as articles about kid’s movies and amazing (or strange and terrifying) things kid’s are doing across the globe.
Use the theme “Are You Kidding Me?” as an inspiration, and interpret it however you like. We want to hear your opinions, whether that be through photojournalism, writing, or videos. Uncensor yourself and let us know how you really feel. Here at Loco, we want your perspective to come first. Take our theme, put a spin on it, and let your creativity shine.
Our sections include Travel, Lifestyle, Lists, Photo/Video, Entertainment, Health, and Features. Features typically run around 2,500 words. Have more than that? Cool! If not, no worries. We’re an electronic publication so space is unlimited. We’ll accept anything from a 250 word photospread to a 500 word interview. Just make sure to have a strong voice and be creative.
Your final article will need to be submitted no later than March 28th, 2016. You can find where to pitch your idea under the “Submissions” tab on the Loco Mag homepage.
Send any questions to editor@locomag.com, and be sure to follow us on Twitter @locomag and like us on Facebook, too.
