GOT A STORY?
WE WANT TO HEAR IT.
You don't need an agent. You don't need a publicist. You don't need thousands of followers.
You just need a story worth telling.
CRUSH Digital Magazine is looking for the people, places, and ideas that make South Texas impossible to ignore.
Emerging models. Independent musicians. Artists. Photographers. Designers. Restaurants. Creators. Animal rescues. Interesting people. Unexpected stories.
Whether you're creating something new, doing something different, or know someone the world should meet, we want to hear about it.
You don't have to be famous to be interesting.
You just have to give us a reason to look closer.
WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
MORE THAN YOU THINK.
CRUSH isn't interested in just one kind of story.
We're looking for originality, personality, passion, and people doing things their own way.
If your story belongs in one of our seven sections, we want to know about it. And if it doesn't fit neatly into any of them, that might make us even more interested.
NO AGENCY REQUIRED

B-SIDE
02 / MUSIC & SOUND

YOUR STORY COULD BE NEXT.
Unusual places. Unexpected people. Unconventional ideas. Stories that don't belong anywhere else.
We didn't go looking for it.
