• Voice. Write in the voice that feels true—personal, reflective, fragmented, lyrical, or plain. There is no template.
  • Length. Between 500 and 1,500 words. Enough room to breathe. Enough discipline to stay close to what matters.
  • Language. We currently accept submissions in English. If English is not your first language, you are welcome to draft in your own language and use a translation tool before submitting—your story is no less yours for the journey it takes to reach us.
  • Your name. Published with your story, as credit for your authorship. If you prefer anonymity, write “Anonymous.”
  • Your email. Private, always. We use it only if we have a question before publishing. It will never appear on the site or be shared.
  • Your website. Optional. If you have a site you’d like linked to your story, include it.
  • Images. Optional, but welcome. Up to three JPEG images. Minimum 480 × 480 pixels. Maximum 1920 × 1920 pixels. No more than 2MB per image.
Before your story is published, the Gallery may make minor copyedits for grammar and clarity. We do not reshape, reframe, or rewrite. Your voice is the point.

Your story of migration, the one inherited, lived, and witnessed across generations, has a place here. The Tapestry, the 2026 edition of the Gallery’s Migration Literary Award, is an international recognition and publication initiative honouring personal and ancestral stories. Every selected voice is honoured equally. No rankings, no podium. Submissions open March 31 and close August 31, 2026.
