Elowell Max has announced the opening of applications for the first cohort of the Elowell Max Internship Programme (EMIP) 2026, a structured initiative designed to develop young media talents across editorial and digital publishing roles. The programme is scheduled to run from 26th January, 2026 to 25th March, 2026.
The launch of EMIP marks a significant step for the publication as it formalises its commitment to training emerging writers and creatives through practical newsroom experience. The programme is positioned to bridge the gap between academic learning and real-world media practice by exposing interns to professional publishing standards and live editorial operations.
Founded in 2020 by Nigerian writer, Elohor Ogaga-Edafe, Elowell Max focuses on African women across a wide range of topics. Over the years, the publication has grown into a platform known for amplifying African women’s voices while engaging with contemporary societal conversations. According to the publication, interns selected for EMIP will work closely with editors across multiple desks, contribute original content, and take part in the magazine’s digital workflow.
“This is beyond becoming an Elowell Max Intern,” the editorial team stated. “It is a platform to learn, grow, and be part of a professional team that values originality, quality, and insight.”
The programme is open to applicants interested in editorial writing, features, beauty and fashion journalism, digital publishing, and visual storytelling. Throughout the internship period, participants will receive structured editorial feedback, mentorship, and guidance.
At the end of the programme, interns who successfully complete EMIP will receive certificates, while outstanding participants will be recognised through merit-based awards during a closing session. Applications for the first cohort are currently open, with selection based on writing ability, creativity, and willingness to learn. Further details are available through the magazine’s official platforms.
