London’s annual gay and transgender arts festival GFEST is looking for submissions for this year’s event.

‘Queer Art queries..’ is the theme of this year’s festival, which will take place in November in venues across London.

Niranjan Kamatkar, artistic director of GFEST said “This year we want to address and question the issues and challenges that our community faces on a daily basis. We hope to encourage artists to work together on exciting, thought provoking and innovative work. We want to query what happens in the queer arts world.”

GFEST is looking for submissions from artists and organisations, with a particular focus on collaboration across art form, age and cultural backgrounds.

The festival accepts submissions in three categories: films, visual arts and performance.

The deadline for submissions through the Gaywise website is Friday 29 June 2012.
