Your Order Reference number will be automatically emailed to you from the 'Aesthetica Magazine Shop' once you have completed your online payment. This reference will start with "RC" and please ensure you include this when sending your submissions. To see an example of the confirmation email click here.
Your Order Reference number will be automatically sent to you in your confirmation email after your payment has been authorised by your bank / Paypal account. This process is usually authorised instantly, however on some occasions, there can be delays. Please initially try searching your email account for an email from orders@aestheticamagazine.com. If your confirmation email hasn't arrived within 48 hours, please email Bryony at:
bryony@aestheticamagazine.com who will investigate further.
The £10 entry fee allows you to submit up to two poems, two short stories, or two images. If you would like to enter 4 images, for example, you would have to pay two £10 fees.

You can email up to 10MB to us. If your two images are more than 10MB, you can send your images in separate emails. If you are sending individual images greater than 10MB, then please save your entries onto a CD and send it to us by post.
If you would prefer to send your submissions in the post (e.g. if your artwork is too large a file to email, or if you do not have access to email) then please save your entries onto a CD and send to:

If you are entering the 'Artwork & Photography' category, please include a printout of your work with your CD.
You are very welcome to enter pieces of sculpture, but please bear in mind that the final result of the competition is the Creative Works Annual, so try to ensure that the photographs of your sculptures convey your work as well as possible.
You are welcome to enter several images of the same piece (i.e. of a piece of sculpture from different angles), but each image still counts towards the two image maximum for a single entry. In the event that your entry is successful, the judges will choose the most appropriate image for the Creative Works Annual.
The £10 entry fee is for every two images. You are welcome to enter more than two images and pay the entry fees accordingly.
You can enter as many categories as you would like, but as each category is judged separately, an entry fee must be paid for each category.
The word limit for short stories is strictly 2000 words and cannot accept short stories over the word count.
Each category is completely separate, but you are welcome to enter more than one category. We cannot, however, treat images and writing as the same entry to be considered together because of layout restrictions in the Creative Works Annual.
The entry fee can be paid by cheque, however it is important to remember to add 'Value Added Tax' of 17.5% onto the entry fee. Please make cheques payable to 'Aesthetica Magazine Ltd' and post to:

Please contact our finance department who can arrange an international bank transfer, at finance@aestheticamagazine.com.
There are no age restrictions to the competition so everyone is welcome to enter. Work can therefore be entered on behalf of someone who is under 18 and it is your judgement call as to whether you think the work is suitable.
The competition is not restricted to the UK as we welcome submissions from all over the world and look forward to seeing a huge variety of entries.
Entries can be sent that have been previously published elsewhere, but please include information on previous publications with your submissions. This will not affect the judging process. In the event that you are successful, it is good-practice for competitions and magazines to credit previously published works.
You retain the copyright for all your work.
We cannot pass on any unsuccessful entries to other competitions, but as you maintain the copyright to your work, you can still enter submissions to other interested competitions.
Due to the number of entries received, the judges unfortunately cannot offer any feedback on unsuccessful entries.
No alterations can be made to submissions once they have been received.
