WHAT IS NEST MAGAZINE?

Made by students, for students, NEST magazine is here to give you more opportunities to get your work out into the world! Our issues are chock full of some of the very best talent here at Leeds Arts University. Each issue has a set theme chosen and designed by the Editorial Officers and all content is created by our LAU students.

 

Our Editorial Officers are elected as part of our Student Elections and make up part of our Executive Officer Team. With each new Editorial Officer brings new ideas, designs and themes!

HOW DO I GET INVOLVED?

Once the theme has been established, submissions will be opened by the Editorial Officers. We encourage every medium of submission including images, film and sound! All students will be invited to submit via their student email address so make sure to regularly check on your inbox! Call outs will be advertised on the NEST Instagram: @nestmagazine and the Unions Instagram @leedsartsunion

 

Submissions will be chosen for inclusion by the Editorial Officers and the Students’ Union team, taking in to account the theme and narrative of the issue as well as the layout and design of the publication. Each year we receive a high volume of submissions and endeavour to include as many as possible. Once submissions are selected you will be informed of the decision by your Editorial Officers and they will begin work on finalising the design of the latest NEST issue!

 

Usually, each issue is launched into the world with a launch party, giving you the opportunity to pick up the new mag, have a drink with your friends to help celebrate you being a part of this publication. You will also be able to collect your copy of the newest NEST from the Students’ Union and the University reception desk!

NEST HISTORY

Leeds Arts University's student magazine has a long history of celebrating and showcasing the creativity of students. NEST magazine, as we know it today, has been in proud production since 2012 under the direction of several different Editors. However, there are issues of the student magazine that pre-date NEST and were produced as early as 1935. The list of previous publications can be found below:
