Dear Readers, once again, La Plus Belle Magazine is split into two volumes.

We’re so glad for the high number of submissions sent to our editorial team.

We had to work hard in order to select the editorials to be published, and we’re very satisfied with the growing quality of your pictures. Thanks to all our contributors, you always make our magazine better and appreciated all over the world.

We also want to express our gratitude to all our followers on social networks, particularly, on Instagram, where we exceeded 11k fans!

We’re going to publish a Media Kit very soon, for all who wish to have a space in our magazine, to advertise their brand or business.

Submissions will be reopened early in February.

Please, remember you may send your works only via Kavyar platform. Stay tuned for more!

I wish to remind you that La Plus Belle Magazine is published in the dual format: on paper, in a premium quality edition, and digital, who want to have it at their fingertips on tablets or smartphones. In both cases, you may purchase it directly from our store: www.laplusbelle.it/store I’d like to invite you to follow us on Facebook and Instagram to stay up to date with our latest news.

That’s all. See you in March with our upcoming issue.

Enjoy your reading!
