Your submission is read by our evaluation team,
who decide whether it meets Bright Light Multimedia standards and criteria.
(Please check submission guidelines, and the Bright Light Multimedia Vision.)

If your submission is successful:

If your submission is accepted by Bright Light Multimedia for showcasing at The Bright Light Café, it may be edited (as minimally as possible) to ensure acceptable grammar, spelling, polish, guideline adherence, and easy readability for our audience.

Your accepted submission is then transferred to its own Bright Light Café showcase page, and embellished with related artwork and/or books and/or novelties, carefully selected from our affiliates AllPosters.com and Amazon.com.

Your by-line (100 words or less) is listed on the Showcased Talent page, with links to your showcased page/s.

Your successful submission is also listed on the index page of the appropriate category (i.e. short stories, poem, etc.).

Once your showcase page is complete and uploaded to The Café website, we will notify you by email.

In your congratulatory email, we invite you to send us your narration of your written work.  We know that people are often fascinated by the many levels of a individual's talent so we also invite you to submit any of your other creative talents that may enhance your already successful submission.

If anything more than minimal editing has been required for a submission to be accepted for showcasing, the Bright Light evaluation team will add a few explanatory comments to your email.

You may also be asked for additional information to augment your by-line.

It is a good idea to send us a photo of yourself to accompany your by-line.

Once you have a successful submission, you may also be featured in the Bright Light Multimedia and Bright Light Café newsletter “Brilliant!”, hopefully encouraging a greater audience to your linked page.  

All successful contributors will automatically become "Brilliant!" subscribers and receive free entry in Bright Light Multimedia writing competitions.

As an additional service to promote your work, we may decide to produce a narration of your piece featuring the professional voice talent of our resident actress, Barbara Llewellyn.

We also encourage the creative community to be inspired by your work and to contribute something of their own talent, whether it be art, voice, music, photography, etc., to further enhance your creation, and obviously promote their own work.

If your talents are showcased 8 times in any combination of creative works, eg: writing, voiceover, art, music, then The Bright Light Café will further promote your talent by highlighting you – the author/creator/performer - on a separate "Featured Artist" page.  You will be asked to supply a fuller biography, and/or respond to a set of questions (i.e. An interview with the creator/performer), and supply a photo of yourself.

As part of our product development programme, Bright Light Multimedia will monitor the audience and creative community attraction and reaction to each successful submission, with the view of including the best performing pieces in future commercial product releases.  You will, of course, be notified, paid and contracted if any of your successful submissions are to be included in these products.
