FAQ –

What is ‘Curtain Call’?

You know that realisation when something; a moment, relationship, chapter, has come to an end? That strange, exploratory energy in the air, when you know something won’t be as it once was? It could be the moment the lights turn on at the end of a concert; when a friendship broke up; when you decided to change directions; the last time you stepped foot in a place or saw a certain person. The ending, the finale. The ceasing of something.

For the last issue of 2022, we welcome you to write on the too-soon goodbye, what you wish you could’ve said, how far you have come and where you’ve got to go. It’s vast yet vague, so write, create, photograph whatever these words translate to you.

Have fun with this one. Be sappy, be proud, be sentimental.

What are some ideas of material to submit?

The end of an era (a breakup, new job, new city)
Recounting a chapter in history (trends, activisms, films)
The finale (of a TV show, artists last album, etc)
Pop Culture (TV shows that never got a proper ending, Bands that broke up – The Beatles, BTS?, One Direction)
the end of the trend cycle
Film/theatre reviews

We’re so excited to see what you do!
