Divine Women in Business™ Magazine

"Elemental Voices Poetry Contest"

Air | Water | Earth | Fire

A curated literary feature honoring the feminine journey of survival, awakening, and becoming.

Divine Women in Business™ Magazine invites women from around the world to submit original poetry exploring transformation, power, healing, and identity through the symbolic lens of the four elements: Air, Water, Earth and Fire.

This is a publishing opportunity inside a women’s empowerment media platform dedicated to elevating sovereign voices and legacy storytelling.

Concept & Creative Direction

Each poem should embody the experience of a woman in transition, reclamation, or rising, expressed through one of the four elements:

Earth

Themes may include grounding, ancestry, embodiment, resilience, roots, stability, and self-trust.

Air

Themes may include voice, breath, clarity, truth, freedom, vision, expansion, and mental awakening.

Fire

Themes may include power, courage, desire, transformation, leadership, passion, and rebirth.

Water

Themes may include grief, healing, intuition, emotional depth, surrender, forgiveness, and flow.

Eligibility

Open to women poets, creatives, founders, students, and visionaries worldwide. Submissions are welcomed from both emerging and established writers.

Editorial Criteria & Cultural Alignment

Submissions are evaluated not only on literary quality, but on how deeply they align with the culture, flow, and mission of Divine Women in Business™ Magazine as a women’s empowerment platform.

We are curating more than individual poems. We are shaping a collective narrative.

Each selected piece should:

Flow harmoniously alongside other winning submissions
Contribute to a cohesive editorial journey of survival, awakening, and becoming
Reflect a woman’s transformation toward her divine, sovereign self
Honor emotional truth, feminine power, and soul-led leadership

Poems should feel as though they are part of one unfolding story, where each voice stands alone in power while resonating within a greater symphony of women rising, healing, and remembering who they are.

Judging Process

Submissions are reviewed by the Divine Women in Business™ editorial team and guest curators. Selections are based on emotional depth, originality, clarity of voice, alignment with the chosen element, and editorial readiness for publication.
