QLN’s Next Top Queer Artist is a virtual design contest for the gays & theys that supports our work to empower queer creatives while amplifying the artwork of one queer artist for a full year.

From November 1—30, submit a queer-themed design for QLN’s 2027 merch. Virtual voting will take place from December 1—14, with friends, family, followers, and total strangers voting for their favorite designs. $5 donation = 1 vote, and the design with the most votes and funds raised wins their spot as QLN’s Next Top Queer Artist.

The winning artist will receive a $500 creative microgrant to be used at their discretion, along with credit as QLN’s 2027 featured artist on all items featuring their artwork.
