Submission FAQ
When should I submit to Panku?
We are accepting submissions up until February 10th. Any submissions received after that date will not be considered!
What does Panku accept as an art medium?
Excellent question! We accept Paintings, Sculptures, Music, Films, Poems, Stories, and Essays! Though if you determine your creation to fit between these categories, send it in! It’s worth mentioning that you are also allowed to submit multiple works within multiple categories, as you are not restricted to one medium.
