BAK is open to every artists or artist nominees. (Just to remind; we're reviewing the submissions before publishing. We received over 300 works this month and had to eliminate more than half of it.)
 
You've asked what our philosophy is.

Yes, we're considering a theme for each issue and announcing it on our web site. While people are sending their submissions about
the theme, I'm contacting respected artists and working on the interviews till the submission deadline.  If I think needed, I write some articles about the subject, then compile them all and publish.  This is the process.
