DEADLINE NOV. 21 for WINTER 2026 Volume 20

Roller Rag is turning five this winter — and our next issue, Vol. 20 (Winter 2026), marks five years in print!

To celebrate, we’re inviting skaters, artists, and storytellers from around the world to create something inspired by the number 5 and roller skating.

Think:

  • 5 tricks you finally nailed
  • 5 people who keep you rolling
  • 5 songs that get you skating every time
  • 5 falls, 5 friends, 5 memories that made it all worth it

Your piece can be an essay, poem, photo series, collage, comic, playlist, or anything creative that captures what “five” means to you in skate life.

📬 Submit by November 21
📧 Send your work to rollerragmag@gmail.com
🗞️ Featured pieces will appear in Roller Rag Vol. 20: The 5-Year Anniversary Issue

Five years of community. Five years of wheels. Five years of you.
