Autumn Air invites artists and audiences alike to come out in the sun, dry the monsoon-soaked skin, and participate in an unforgettable and ephemeral experience of the now.

This year, the experience expands into an Autumn Air Chapbook and a series of events across Dehradun, weaving together stories, music, film, art, and food at various venues throughout October- November.

We are accepting autumn-inspired contributions around the theme Chair of Repose.

Autumn is a season of slow wisdom, and in a world that makes it increasingly difficult to retreat from its noise into a quiet sanctuary, it falls upon us to create that space for one another.

We invite contributions in the following categories:

Poem | Short Story | Essay | Photograph | Painting | Illustration | Editorial Design

Word limit: 2000 words

Join our Autumn Air 2026 Chapbook, Chair of Repose

Selected contributors will receive a copy of the final book and an invitation to an intimate book launch and Autumn Air concert experience.

Accepting entries till 8th November 2026
