Ballyhoo Introduces "The Center Ring"

Ballyhoo is about giving new artists a place to display their work and get it seen by the greater public. Thus, Ballyhoo is accepting submissions for the first issue of The Center Ring.

            The Center Ring is an anthology compiling the written and visual arts of the Ballyhoo collective. Each creator who submits to The Center Ring will have the opportunity to share their work with other creators, as well as a much larger audience of family, friends, and industry professionals. It is a great opportunity for artists and writers to show their stuff and let their voices ring true.

            Submissions for The Center Ring will be accepted until August 4. Please send submissions to theballyhoocollective@gmail.com, with The Center Ring written in the subject line and the actual art added as an attachment. In the body of the email, please include your name, a brief bio, and any contact information you would like accredited to your work.

            Email any other questions to Mark via markelton@gmail.com with “Center Ring Question” posted in the subject line.

Licensing

One goal The Ballyhoo Collective has in mind is to protect the creative rights of its contributors while still distributing the work. The following is a link regarding Creative Commons, or "CC" licensing. 

CC licensing is encouraged because of its ability to spread and protect an artists vision simultaneously. 

We hope that this post has been informative and beneficial.
