OHOHOzine #7 | Open call – Theme: The Body

The theme we have picked for the 7th issue of OHOHO zin is: The Body!

Comics can be submitted only via form in the end of the row.
Number of pages: 1-8
We are ok with more pages if you feel so inspired, but you will need to really impress the editorial team for it to make it into the issue!
Color: black and white or grayscale. (We strongly suggest you do black and white (b/w)! In case you do go gray scale please be mindful of differences in tones. We have had problems in past issues of print being darker than expected.)
Comics must be in dimensions: 17,6 x 25 cm (B5). With included bleed (3mm) it’s 18,2 x 25,6 cm. Resolution: 300 dpi minimum. Format: JPEG. DON’T SEND PDF-s.
In case you are drawing the comic by hand, the pages have to be scanned in properly. Not photographed by phone.
Language: primarily Croatian or any regional language such as Serbian or Bosnian etc. You can send an english version of your comic if you are not from the regions mentioned above.
In case the comic is written in some other alphabet, such as Cyrillic, please send us the translation in an editable text document.
Please do not publish the comic you submit to this open call in any other publications or on the internet until you know if it’s gonna be part of OHOHOzin.

DEADLINE is: April 30th 2025.
After the deadline you will be contacted by the editorial team about whether your work has made the cut.
Selected works will be published in OHOHO zin #7 and will also be part of an exhibition in the OHOHO festival (Siva gallery, Medika)
OHOHO zin is a magazine that showcases alternative and indie comics, so that kind of style will be given priority during the selection process. You can find samples of this in our past issues.
If your comic gets picked you will be asked to supply us with an English translation since the zine is published in both Croatian and English. And you will need to supply us with a short biography (not more than 800 characters) in both English and Croatian.
In case of any change to the rules, you will be notified on our socials.

Boja: crno-bijelo (c/b) ili grayscale [sugeriramo da naginjete na c/b! U slučaju grayscalea molimo da naglasite tonske razlike kako bismo izbjegli probleme s tiskom u vidu toga da Vam table budu tamnije nego je to predviđeno].

Nakon roka uredništvo će Vas kontaktirati i obavijestiti o rezultatu.
Odobreni radovi će ugledati svjetlo dana u OHOHOzinu#666, te na zidovima galerije Siva u Medici.
OHOHO zin je strip-magazin alternativnog/indie izričaja stoga prednost imaju stripovi stilski prilagođeniji istom opusu. Primjer: OHOHO zin #1 – OHOHO zin#5.
Nakon odobrenja vašeg stripa za objavu, trebat ćemo englesku verziju tekstova jer je OHOHO zin dvojezičan.
Uz to trebat ćemo i kratku biografiju (do 1,800 znakova) na engleskom i hrvatskom.
Za sve dodatne izmjene bit ćete obaviješteni u ovom eventu!
