STANDARD SUBMISSIONS NARRATIVE ART
WE ARE CURRENTLY CLOSED FOR SUBMISSIONS.
SUPPORTING POEM STELLIUM 🙂
WHILE OUR SUBMISSIONS ARE COMPLETELY FREE, RUNNING POEM STELLIUM TAKES TIME, CARE, AND RESOURCES. IF YOU ENJOY WHAT WE DO AND ARE GRATEFUL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE YOUR WORK CONSIDERED, WE WOULD WARMLY APPRECIATE A SMALL DONATION — EVEN AS LITTLE AS £1 — TO HELP SUPPORT THE PLATFORM. YOUR GENEROSITY HELPS KEEP POEM STELLIUM ALIVE AND THRIVING FOR BOTH EMERGING AND ESTABLISHED VOICES.
THANK YOU FOR BEING PART OF THIS CREATIVE SPACE!
We are proud to now welcome submissions of narrative art — original artworks that tell a story through imagery, text, or a combination of both.
There are no submission fees, no reading fees, and no specific theme requirements.
WHAT WE ACCEPT
Narrative art submissions must be saved and submitted in PDF format only.
(Please ensure your work is professionally presented. If your piece is created by hand, scan it and save it as a PDF.)
SUBMISSION SCHEDULE
We accept narrative art submissions twice a year, operating on a term-on, term-off basis.
You are welcome to submit one narrative artwork per open submission term.
IMPORTANT GUIDELINES
• We accept submissions from artists worldwide.
• All submissions must be original, previously unpublished, and presented in English if there is text involved.
• Simultaneous submissions are allowed. However, if your work is accepted elsewhere, please notify us immediately.
• Previously published work will not be considered.
• Submissions must be in PDF format only — other file types will not be reviewed.
IMPORTANT SUBMISSION POLICY
Please respect the submission window.
Any submissions sent while we are closed will be disregarded without acknowledgment.
This is to honour both your time and ours — we appreciate your understanding.
