A creative and literary publication — writing, art and photography, rescued from notes apps and given somewhere permanent to live.
The Young Archive is a creative & literary publication dedicated to showcasing and celebrating young talent. We give young creatives a place to share their work, gain recognition, and become part of a growing creative community.
"For things worth keeping, not just things worth posting."
More about the archiveYour words deserve a better home than your notes app.— from the archive
Poetry, prose, personal essays — anything that's been sitting half-finished in a drafts folder.
Illustration, painting, mixed media, mood boards — work that says something a sentence can't.
Single frames or small series — the art of slowing down enough to notice something.
submissions are open until 15 november 2026.
“things we don't say, feelings we can't explain, truths we hide, things we wish we could express, and experiences that words can't fully capture. it can be personal, fictional, social, surreal, or anything that fits your interpretation.”
