Your art statement and your art should be blind files (see instructions below).  

Blind Files

Your submissions should be anonymous.

DO NOT include your name on your work files. Submissions should be "blind" document attachments. Also make sure you blind the metadata. In Word, choose File>Properties>Summary>and delete the "Author" field.

Permissions

By submitting to HUMID, you are granting permission to publish your work in the annual HUMID print journal, the online journal, and on our website. Upon publication, all rights revert to the authors and artists. 

Decisions

Acceptances and rejections will be sent via email in October. Please keep in mind that rejections may be for reasons other than quality - similarity to other accepted work, page length, and adherence to the theme also play a role in our decisions.
