Description:
16 Blocks Magazine presents an Open Call for Creative Contributors on Sunday, June 18, 2023 at the outdoor piano on the Draper Pedestrian Block between Bollo’s and Benny’s in downtown Blacksburg, VA.

Ten years ago, it was the grass-roots and collective effort of this creative community that led 16 Blocks Magazine to a five-year run with 41 issues, many events, and a dozen murals.

By the last issue of the first run we had worked with over 200 Creative Contributors, many of whom used clips of their work and the contacts they made with 16 Blocks as a stepping stone to grow in professional creative fields.

This is a rallying call to the creative-minded living in Southwest Virginia sounded out by a small team endeavoring to redefine and rebuild local media with a home-grown network with the revival of the magazine in both print and digital space.

We’re looking for pitches on stories for publication online and in print. We aim to grow relationships that lead to paid commissions for larger and more extensive projects.

Here’s the Mission:

Here’s some of the things we’re looking for at the outset:
• Cultural Exploration
• Experiential Documenting
• Investigative Reporting
• Engaging Conversation
