SUBMIt


Issue 18

The Polyglot is proud to partner again with Supporting Indigenous Language Revitalization (SILR) at the University of Alberta to present Issue 18, dedicated to showcasing creative works that emerged during our Voices in Relation program, and other works that engage with and weave Indigenous languages into creative expression. 

Submissions may include, but are not limited to: visual art, poetry, stories, dance, music, and multimedia works, and may include hybrid elements integrating print and digital formats.

We invite creators at all linguistic levels—from those taking their first steps in Indigenous language reclamation to fluent speakers—to share their reflections, experiences, and artistic expressions related to Indigenous language revitalization. Your insights, experiences, and creative responses to language revitalization are invaluable.

Download a copy of Issue 14: âniskôverberation for free to see what we have published in the past.

Deadline: August 10, 2026. Please use this form to submit.

Honorarium: $100 honorarium per artist

Open to: Indigenous contributors, including (but not limited to) participants of the Voices in Relation Program. Collaborative works involving non-Indigenous participants can also be submitted. Selections will be based on artistic merit, community impact, and commitment to language revitalization.

Please note: All Voices in Relation program participants who wish to share their work will be published digitally on The Polyglot website. This Call for Submissions is for the print issue.

Questions? Please email The Polyglot (thepolyglotmagazine@gmail.com) if you have questions about this issue.

This is one of several initiatives The Polyglot has committed to as part of the International Decade of Indigenous Languages (IDIL: 2022-2032).
