ISSue No. 03 - America

OPEN CALL

In 1935, Langston Hughes wrote "Let America Be America Again," a poem that questioned who America was really working for and who was being left out of its promise. Nearly a century later, those questions still resonate. As the United States marks its 250th year, No-Type Magazine invites photographers to offer their own answers, expanding our understanding of what America is, what it has been, and what it might become. We welcome photographs that celebrate the people, places, and traditions that give meaning to our lives, as well as photographs that confront the challenges, injustices, and unresolved promises that continue to shape our country. From moments of joy, resilience, community, and belonging to images that examine inequality, dissent, environmental change, and political division, we ask for submissions that engage with the complexities and contradictions of American life.
