Poem Stellium

FEATURED SUBMISSIONS NARRATIVE ART

WE ARE CURRENTLY CLOSED FOR FEATURED SUBMISSIONS.

Poem Stellium offers a Featured Submission option for artists who wish to present their narrative work with a more curated, professional showcase.

FEATURED INCLUDES:

  • One narrative artwork per open term
  • A short artist bio (max 80 words)
  • A professional headshot
  • An optional video presentation (e.g., a short walkthrough, explanation, or behind-the-scenes glimpse)

MEDIA NOTES:

  • London-based contributors can request a headshot/video session with our editor
  • If you’re on the outskirts of London and willing to travel, you may still request a session
  • Contributors outside London may submit their own media, provided it meets our standards:
    • Headshot: High-resolution, natural light, neutral background, no filters
    • Video: Minimum 720p, clear sound, quiet/clean background

FEE: £5

The £5 submission fee supports the running costs of Poem Stellium — including equipment, editing tools, web hosting, and contributor support.

All funds are reinvested into the platform. Nothing goes toward personal profit. This helps us maintain high-quality offerings while keeping Standard submissions free.

SUBMISSION SCHEDULE:

We accept submissions twice a year on a term-on, term-off basis.

You may submit one narrative artwork per open Featured term.

IMPORTANT GUIDELINES:

  • Open to artists worldwide
  • Work must be original, previously unpublished, and in English (if text is included)
  • Simultaneous submissions are welcome — notify us immediately if accepted elsewhere
  • All submissions must be submitted in PDF format. Other file types will not be reviewed

COPYRIGHT AND RIGHTS:

  • You retain full copyright
  • By submitting, you grant Poem Stellium a one-time, non-exclusive right to publish your work
  • Your narrative art will remain on our platform unless you request removal

RESPONSE TIME:

If selected, a member of our team will contact you within one month.

If you don’t hear from us, your work was not selected. We encourage you to try again in a future open call.

NOTE:

If your work has previously been published on Poem Stellium through an open call, please do not submit again unless it’s part of a competition. This ensures we continue to make room for new voices and artists.
