Highlighting Australia
- As a proudly Australian initiative, we’re excited to showcase a collection of Australian stories, music, tributes and more.
Join activities, celebrations, study groups, spiritual empowerment and education programs for young people, and more.
Baha’i beliefs address essential spiritual themes for humanity’s collective and individual advancement. Learn more about these and more.
Baha’i Blog is made possible thanks to contributors and creators from around Australia and beyond. We welcome anyone involved in the Baha’i community (not just Baha’is!) to contribute, and we’re always on the lookout for writers and creators.
Interested in creating video? Be sure to check our our Resources for tips about video creation as well as our Creator Briefs for ideas on videos to make! We’re always on the lookout for contributors and collaborators, and you can get in touch by sending an email to [email protected].
Whether you’re a seasoned wordsmith or an inexperienced newbie, we would love to hear from you. If you’re interested in trying your hand at blogging about the Baha’i Faith and have an idea for a blog post that you think would fit right in, then email [email protected]
The length of most posts should be approximately 1,000 words (including quotations), but this also depends on the type of post you’re writing. So for example, a ’round-up’ post like 10 Great Introductory Books on the Baha’i Faith, or a ‘news-type’ post like one about the release of the Frontiers of Learning film doesn’t necessarily need to be that long, but an average full-length post like Some Background to What’s Been Happening to the Baha’is in Iran should sit around the 1,000 word mark.
All of our posts must ‘stand-alone’, which means that we do not accept posts written as a series (ie, Part 1, Part 2,). You can of course link to other relevant posts, but our readers should be able to read your post without having to have read posts in any particular order.
We take copyright seriously and the images we use for our posts are important to us. Our ideal type of imagery is photography of real people doing real things – so if you have imagery of you and your community, that’s great. If you’re in need of general Baha’i imagery then Baha’i Media Bank is a great source of photos. And if you’re after general stock photography then we recommend Unsplash or Pexels.
If you’re making video content then you may need footage, in which case we recommend licensing from a reputable stock footage offering, or using a free service like Pexels or Mixkit. Likewise for music, there are many reputable sources of stock music, including a free service called Uppbeat.
