FAQ

  • What is VEYA?

    VEYA is an international art magazine that showcases emerging artists, writers, and creators. We celebrate visual storytelling, and creative voices, especially from communities often left out of mainstream art spaces.

  • Who can submit their artwork?

    Anyone, but we especially encourage submissions from young or emerging artists. You don’t need formal training or a CV, just a perspective and something to share.

  • Do I have to be from a certain country or background?

    No. VEYA is open to everyone, though we center voices from underrepresented regions and communities.

  • What kind of work can I submit?

    - Visual art (painting, illustration, photography, collage, digital)

    - Writing (poetry, flash fiction, essays, visual text)

    -Crafts (textiles, ceramics, embroidery, printmaking)


    If you’re unsure, submit anyway—we’re open to work that doesn’t fit neatly in a category.

  • Does it cost anything to submit?

    No. Submission is free, and artists will always be credited.

  • Will contributors be paid?

    While we are currently limited in funding, we’re committed to valuing every artist who shares their work with VEYA. All selected contributors will receive:

    - A dedicated spotlight on our website and socials

    - A printed copy of the issue (when possible) or a digital version

    - Ongoing visibility through our creative community

    - A letter of publication or contribution upon request

  • Can I submit in my own language?

    Yes! You can include a translation (optional), but we welcome work in all languages. We celebrate linguistic diversity. Your work will be translated into various languages in the end to be purchased.

  • How many pieces can I send?

    Up to 5 pieces per submission. If you’re submitting multiple types of work (e.g. art + poetry), you can combine them.

  • Will I hear back if my work isn’t accepted?

    Yes, we’ll email everyone. This is a community magazine, not a black box. If we can't include your work this time, we hope to stay in touch.

  • Can I collaborate with someone else?

    Yes. Collaborative work is welcome, just let us know who’s involved when you submit.

  • Where will the magazine be distributed?

    VEYA will be distributed across the United States and United Kingdom, with the goal of reaching parts of Sub-Saharan Africa, MENA, Asia and Latin America in the coming months.
