Open Submissions: Guidelines & Selection Process
We are a magazine dedicated to presenting high-quality content that informs, educates, and inspires. We invite photographers and writers who possess a keen eye and a sharp mind to join us in curating a collection of exceptional work. In our selection process we are seeking individuals who can contribute thought-provoking articles or visually stunning photographs that address a wide range of topics, from wellness, art, culture, science, nature and more (see FAQs to explore categories and themes). Whether you have expertise in a particular field, a personal story to share, or a fresh perspective on current events, we invite you to contribute to our pages.​​

Will I be notified if my submission has been rejected?
Intellects Digest's written pieces and photographs are personally selected by Intellects Digest editors who work continually on the selection process – even outside the standard working hours; however, they physically lack the time to individually explain why a photograph has not received approval. Intellects Digest does not wish to question the work or skills of an artist. The team behind the platform makes choices according to aesthetic and visual standards that are in line with Intellects Digest. It is important to observe what is approved and what is rejected from the photographs you upload: this way it becomes easier to understand what type of photos are accepted by the Editors.
