    Weekly Update - Revised Submission Guidelines & Contest Reminder

    February 16, 2026

    Hello everyone! How is it going?

    I am sorry that this newsletter is a day late, I was really busy the last few days. Thankfully, exams are over, I have holidays for a while, and I am getting a lot of incomplete tasks done. We have one major update and a couple of reminders today. I don't have a prompt for you today, as we are still running the Ekphrastic Challenge.

    As always, our general submissions are open for art, writing and multi-media. The editorial board is excited to review your submissions and feature the best ones in our flagship issue.

    That reminds me that we are slightly changing our submission process.


    Revised Submission Guidelines

    Initially, we required that you fill out a registration form, after which we emailed you our submission form. This was to keep our teen editorial board safe from any inappropriate content.

    We have decided however, to see if the submission process works out better without the registration form.

    You DON'T have to fill the registration form, henceforth. You can directly submit via the link attached below.

    General Submissions


    DON'T FORGET!

    The Blue Bell Review is collaborating with Phosphorescent Lit, a US-based magazine that also features youth (along with adults), for an Ekphrastic Challenge!! Submit a story or poem in response to the painting given, which was created by Aastha Pai, which is appearing in the flagship issue of The Blue Bell Review. This is a wonderful opportunity for you all to be published in two global platforms!

    We are extending the deadline to the 21st of February.

    Submit To The Contest!
