Contributor Guidelines

Please note: This is a closed project. The guidelines below describe what the In Cinq project was about. New submissions are not being accepted.

In Cinq

In Cinq was a poetic visual global community. Contributors participated from artists from all across the United States, to Asia, Australia, South American, Africa, North American, Europe, etc. Our concept collaborated between Adria Balgassi and Haemi Balgassi. In Cinq = 9 words about yourself, poem and portrait.

1st line: one word that represents you
2nd line: two words that describe you
3rd line: three words that show you
4th line: two words that express you
5th line: the essence of you, in one word
Also share your:
Gender, age, location. Examples: "guy, 28, third floor corner cubicle"; "girl, 19, Boston."

Link to a photo or illustration. No standard yearbook shots, please (browse cinqpics for inspiration). Your pict will be sized to 306 pix-width, and may be cropped (this is rare).

Website or blog url. Optional, if you want your self portrait linked back to you.

Go on then. Show the world what you look like in cinq.

By submitting your cinquain and photo, you're giving your word that you are the author of the cinquain and the owner of the photograph. You're granting In Cinq the right to publish and archive your cinquain and image on this and any future In Cinq website or medium. Your cinquain may be edited for punctuation and spelling. Cinquains are featured in lower case (exceptions: proper nouns and the pronoun I). In Cinq will not share your e-mail with anyone.
