We're building our first issue of GØY Blad, and we'd love to know: "What does home mean to you?"
For us, home is more than a place, and for our inaugural issue, we’re seeking stories about belonging—the spaces we inhabit, the people we gather around us, and the ways we create home for ourselves, whether we’ve lived there forever or arrived yesterday.
Born from the Norwegian word for fun, GØY celebrates curiosity in all its colorful forms—from queer identities and creative lives to hidden destinations, meaningful homes, and the people shaping culture quietly.
Feel free to ask questions in our social channels or contact us directly at hello@goyblad.com

We’re open to all kinds of work, but it should speak the same visual language. Bold, intentional, and rooted in color and story. Black and white images have their place too, used sparingly to create contrast, pause, or intimacy within a series.
Creators always retain ownership of their work. We're simply asking for permission to publish and promote accepted submissions across GØY Blad's print, digital, social, and editorial platforms.
Home changes. We do too.
The stories in this issue is shaped by real people and places around the world.
DETAILS MAKE HOME.
"The way light hits the wall. A song that stays on repeat. The view from your window. The things you love, the things you’ve outgrown, and everything in between."
- Daniel Mareno, Founder & Editor-in-Chief of GØY Blad
It’s all part of the story.
Sometimes we leave.
Sometimes we stay.
Sometimes home follows us.
Wherever you are,
you belong here.
This is for you.
This is for us.
This is GØY.
