Submit to Quarto Online

Please note that the form below is for Quarto Online only. 

We accept creative and artistic submissions from current Columbia University and Barnard College undergraduates. We are especially excited by non-traditional or genre-defying forms, and encourage work that is purposeful and innovative. Quarto is committed to uplifting a variety of voices and experiences,  as well as representing a diverse community of writers and artists within and beyond our staff. In particular, Quarto strives to center and magnify work from voices that are systemically silenced. We welcome creatives of color, queer and trans creatives, disabled creatives, immigrant creatives, low-income creatives, fat creatives, femme creatives, and multilingual creatives and promise to engage with your work thoughtfully, justly, and enthusiastically.

We accept all visual art, audio or video work, multimedia projects, and writing that is 1-15 pages in length per piece. Please submit no more than 3 pieces total to Quarto Online. Online submissions are rolling and reviewed as they are received, and there are no submission deadlines. We will do our best to review your work and get back to you within 1 month, but if you are concerned about the length of time it is taking for you to hear back from us, please feel free to send an email to columbiaquarto@gmail.com.
