2022 Cover Art Honorable Mentions

Editor’s note: If you are interested in submitting to our 2023 call for cover art, stay tuned for details, which will be posted soon.

In response to our second call for cover art in 2022, we received an overwhelming number of submissions. We were thrilled with the number and quality of submissions, and we are grateful for and humbled by the authors’ artwork, insights, stories, and reflections. Because we are able to print only a fraction of the cover art we received, we wanted to acknowledge the artists whose work we loved but cannot publish. The following artists received an honorable mention:​
