About
Where visual creators grow, get seen and get recognized
Artells Media is a professional growth platform for the whole world of visual art — photographers, fine and digital artists, illustrators, models, makeup and hair artists, stylists, fashion and set designers, art directors. Here your work is judged on merit, your progress is public and verifiable, and every step — from a first upload to a printed cover — builds a reputation the creative industry can trust.
Behind the platform stand five international fashion & art magazines, published in print and digital worldwide. They are the stage. The point is you: seen by editors, rated by peers, recognized in print.
The magazines have been publishing since 2019, led by Editor-in-Chief Marina Abramova, who has worked in photography, art and creative work since 2015. The platform exists so creators can tell the world about themselves, grow professionally, and find each other and their clients.
Five magazines
- Artells
Flagship fashion & art magazine — editorial, beauty and fine-art photography.
- Artego
Flagship magazine for bold visual stories, art direction and conceptual work.
- Marika
Fashion, beauty and portrait photography from around the world.
- Figgi
Fresh faces and rising talent — the magazine where new names debut.
- Quadro
Composition-driven photography: form, geometry and visual rhythm.
Submissions to every magazine are free — paid options (covers, interviews, promotion) exist, but they never buy reputation.
How the platform works
- 1 · Open Feed. Every week a new theme opens in the Open Feed. Upload up to two works a week free, offer them to a magazine, and the editors pick the best for the magazine's badge and its social channels.
- 2 · Awards. Monthly photo rounds judged blind by the community and the jury — enter the Awards, rate other entries to earn extra uploads, and win real covers: 1st place takes the Artells cover and a printed publication, 2nd — the Artego cover, 3rd — a cover of Figgi, Quadro or Marika.
- 3 · Your stories. Publish your own articles in the Community stories — behind-the-scenes, interviews, working notes, full longreads with your photos woven through the text. Every published story builds your name (and your score). Write one now.
- 4 · Artist Score. Every selection, Awards win, published story and publication earns points on a public, merit-only score — money can't buy a single point. See the Top Artists ranking and read how the scoring works.
- 5 · Publication in print. Submit a series to any of the five magazines — free, one accepted series per magazine a month (up to three tries), the editors answer within 7 days. Accepted series run in next month's issue, print and digital, shipped to 189 countries — and earn +200 Artist Score.
Fair by design
Reputation on Artells Media is earned, never bought. Awards results are published with full vote counts, every Artist Score point is traceable in a public ledger, and paid options are clearly separated from merit. For creators who want more room to work, Artells Media PRO adds priority review, 10 feed uploads a week, 10 entries per Awards round, double magazine windows and −10% on paid options — and still zero score points.
