Student zine: edge zine Issue 14 – Encounters

April 2025 will see the launch of issue 14 of edge zine. Founded in 2016, edge zine began with the idea of bringing the creations of students who live apart, together.

Released quarterly, OCA students, alumni and staff are encouraged to submit work to be published in our digital zine. The theme for Issue 14 is ‘Encounters’. We welcome ideas, sketches, works-in progress, writing, images and music. Submissions are now open, and close 28 February 2025.

Notices

The February 2025 intake

All students confirmed for this intake have already received email confirmation of their place, and will receive a welcome email and access to the Induction on 3rd February 2025. This email may be sent out in batches throughout the day to avoid technical difficulties. At the end of the two week Induction period, students gain access to their unit materials after confirming their enrolment through the Induction process.

If you applied but couldn’t secure funding or meet eligibility criteria in time, your enrolment has been deferred to the March 2025 intake, unless you’ve been notified otherwise.
