About UnpublishedRomania
Our Mission
UnpublishedRomania is a nonprofit cultural initiative under the Romanian United Foundation (RUF) that identifies, preserves, evaluates, and publishes unpublished Romanian creative works — writings, music, visual arts, design, film, photography, audiovisual — from Romanian creators around the world.
We never claim ownership of submitted works. We act as intermediaries and stewards of Romanian cultural heritage.
We accept exclusively human-created works. AI-generated works are explicitly excluded.
Ethical Principles
Human creations only
AI-generated works are excluded. We verify the authenticity of every nomination.
No ownership claims
The platform never claims rights over submitted creations. Authors retain all rights.
Complete privacy
Nominated creations are always private. They are never displayed publicly or indexed by search engines.
Objective evaluation
We use the Pugh Matrix methodology with weighted criteria for fair and transparent evaluation.
Cultural preservation
Our primary mission is preserving works at risk of being lost, regardless of commercial potential.
Why do we encourage you to nominate an author?
"If Eminescu had not encouraged Creanga to publish, Romania would not have had an Ion Creanga."
