Calling all artists of all backgrounds—whatever your style, medium, or experience, your creativity is welcome here
Scopio is pleased to announce the upcoming project with HarperOne, a publishing imprint of HarperCollins Publishers
"If Women," a book of artworks showcasing a world run by women.
Submit your work for the chance to become a published author, and have your work featured in major bookstores, including:
WHAT WOULD A WORLD RUN BY WOMEN LOOK LIKE?
Select any topic that matters to you, such as politics, education, or healthcare, and create an artwork that shows a world where women run it.
To be selected
Your submission should present an artistic interpretation of the female gaze, defining 'woman' and 'femininity' through the lens of what women achieve and embody in positions of power.
It can be an illustration, graphic art, photography, 3D art, digital sculpting, digital contemporary art, or any other form of visual art. It just needs to be in printable format.
We do not accept artworks generated by AI. All creations must be "hand-made" - in other words - composed by a human being.
Christina and I have spent nearly two years bringing “If Women” to you, including securing a major publisher.
I’m Dominique, project facilitator. My experiences in the luxury industry revealed that true value lies in people and their ideas.
We welcome all artworks depicting a world where women have all the power, everything from humor and satire to bold, inspiring pieces.
This is an independent project with commercial reach, which puts us in a unique position to publish freely, and still make a global impact. We only ask for your best work.
We’ll select 88 submissions based on storytelling, impact, and artistic quality, with each piece reviewed by three separate panels.
We hope your vision of society under female leadership inspires you, wherever you are.
Good luck,
Dominique Mahoney
and
Christina Hawatmeh
Showcase your artistic interpretation of what "woman" means to you.

FAQs
Q: Why submit through the Scopio App/submit page on the website?
A: Submitting through the Scopio App or website is the fastest way to protect your artwork in copyright (for free). You, the artist, keep the copyright and this is non-exclusive. We cannot accept submissions not made through the app for legal reasons. All your other questions about artwork requirements, such as image type, file size and more, are also addressed through the Scopio App, so that you don't have to waste your time with back and forth!
Q: Do I have to be a woman to submit?
A: Nope. We welcome submissions from everyone, regardless of gender, age, background, or experience. Our goal is to celebrate diverse voices and perspectives from all walks of life—whether you're young or old, experienced or emerging - whatever your perspective is (as wild, cynical, sardonic, fantastical, humorous etc). If you have a story to tell on this topic, we’d love to see it.
Q: What are the benefits of being in this book?
A: Your story and image will be featured across all major retailers, next to other top talent published by a top-tier publisher. You’ll also gain exclusive opportunities to collaborate with organizations aligned with your vision. This project is designed to leave a meaningful legacy and provoke thought, adding valuable perspectives to the global narrative.
Q: Will I get paid for my image if it's selected?
A: You will get paid $250 for accepted images, and have an opportunity for future partnerships and the perks of being a part of this book and its initiatives with HarperCollins Publishers and partners.
Q: Can we use previously published works?
A: Yes, but only as long as you are the rightful copyright owner and have the right to distribute the work. Most importantly, your piece must meaningfully contribute to “If Women.”
Q: How competitive is this?
A: For The Year Time Stopped Book we received over 10,000 submissions from artists around the world. For If Women only 88 submissions will be selected, chosen based on the strength of their storytelling, the impact of their deeply thoughtful narrative, and the quality of their artwork. Each submission is carefully evaluated by three separate review panels to ensure only the most compelling pieces make it through.
