Happy Thursday,
Today we launched the new Ello Editorial homepage experience, a new artist invite with #PHOTOGRAPHY Magazine, last call for RELISH submissions, Field Mag is still running, and this week’s giveaways.
We’re super stoked to announce Ello’s brand new Editorial experience. Because all of Ello’s streams are chronological and are not algorithmically manipulated, it’s easy to miss some of the most radical art and ideas being shared on our platform. That’s why we designed an editorialized, human-curated homepage. We’ll be working extra hard to ensure that we highlight the best and brightest creatives and the works they’re sharing while we continue to bring new personal and professional opportunities to our community.
New Artist Invite:
#PHOTOGRAPHY Magazine Women’s Issue
"We cannot all succeed when half of us are held back." - Malala Yousafzai
We teamed up with #PHOTOGRAPHY Magazine (@hashtagphotographymagazine) to bring you a new Artist Invite.
As an entirely female-run magazine, to mark their 5th birthday, they’re dedicating Issue 20 to all things female to celebrate the creativity, diversity, and power of women's voices. This issue will feature exclusively female photographers depicting, discussing, and presenting women's lives in a unique way.
Submit your photography projects, zines, articles, and photo essays. Work will be featured across the magazine’s social media platforms and an upcoming online issue to be released mid-July. Selected artists will also be interviewed for the #PHOTOGRAPHY Magazine blog.
How To Submit:
- Share a minimum of 4 images or a written submission
- Include links to the full series, portfolio, and other social accounts
- Written submissions should not be over 1,000 words
