Al-Tiba9 Art Magazine Issue 23: International Digital and Video Art Call Closes 15 November
Al-Tiba9 Contemporary Art is inviting international submissions to Issue 23 of its art magazine. Its call welcomes digital art, photography, film and video art alongside installation, architecture, design, performance and other contemporary practices. The official listing gives 15 November 2026 at 11 p.m. as the submission deadline.
What the magazine publishes
Al-Tiba9 positions itself as a publication for artists, architects and designers whose work contributes to contemporary visual culture. It circulates art portfolios, biographies, statements and interviews in both print and digital formats.
The publisher reports visibility at artists' book fairs and major international art events, including venues associated with Madrid, Lisbon and Barcelona. Those affiliations describe where the publication is promoted; they do not guarantee that an individual artist will be exhibited at a particular fair.
Eligible work and application materials
The call covers experimental, digital and new-media approaches as well as photography, moving image, performance and established visual forms. Applicants should prepare an English-language statement and biography, written in the third person, and an accessible portfolio or shared folder showing the relevant works.
Add clear work details such as medium, year, dimensions, titles and links to images or video. The organisers warn that shared folders must be accessible to reviewers; submissions by email and WeTransfer are not accepted in place of the official application form. The page allows one application per artist.
Important distinction: free to apply, not necessarily free if selected
The initial submission is explicitly free. However, the publisher says that a selection fee is charged to artists who are accepted, depending on the selection result. The exact amount and publication package should be obtained from the publisher before agreeing to be featured.
This is an important financial consideration: a free application is not the same as a fully funded magazine feature. Review any licensing, image reproduction, print copies, advertising or distribution terms before paying an invoice.
Deadline and submission route
The official Issue 23 call closes on 15 November 2026 at 11:00 p.m.; the page does not clearly establish the time zone, so early submission is advisable. The publisher requires its web application form and says incomplete or late submissions will not be accepted.
For application questions, Al-Tiba9 provides apply@altiba9.com, but not as a substitute for the form. Applicants should verify that they are looking at Issue 23 rather than the older Issue 22 archive before sending material.
Official application and final checks
Details and deadlines can be updated by the organiser. Read the official rules and use only the official submission route before paying fees, sharing documents or submitting work. Information reviewed on 23 October 2026.
