Why Join the Uncut Team?
Wrocław Uncut is more than just a local news and culture portal. It is a living, evolving platform that brings together internationals, expats, students, and locals who want to experience Wrocław in English. By joining the Uncut team, you become part of a community that documents the city’s stories, shares hidden gems, and gives an authentic voice to life in one of Poland’s most vibrant urban centres.
As a contributor, you help shape how newcomers and long-term residents discover Wrocław—its culture, quirks, nightlife, food scene, business landscape, and everything in between. If you have a passion for storytelling, creativity, and urban life, this is a chance to be part of something that is both meaningful and fun.
Who We Are Looking For
The Uncut team is a diverse mix of writers, photographers, videographers, editors, and creatives who share one common denominator: curiosity about Wrocław. You do not need decades of professional experience or a background in journalism; what matters most is your willingness to learn, improve, and contribute consistently.
Ideal team members include:
- Writers eager to cover news, opinion pieces, and lifestyle content about Wrocław.
- Culture enthusiasts who love exploring local events, festivals, galleries, and music venues.
- Food and nightlife explorers interested in reviewing restaurants, cafés, bars, and clubs.
- Photographers and videographers who can visually capture the city’s atmosphere, people, and spaces.
- Social media and digital natives ready to help shape Uncut’s presence on social platforms.
- Editors and proofreaders who can polish articles, refine style, and help maintain consistent quality.
If you recognise yourself in any of these roles—or you have another unique skill that could add value to the platform—you are exactly the kind of person the Uncut team welcomes.
What You Can Work On
As part of the team, you will be free to develop in directions that match both your skills and your interests. Wrocław Uncut covers a broad range of topics, which allows contributors to specialise or experiment with different forms of content.
News & City Updates
From transport changes and urban developments to local policy decisions and community initiatives, news-focused contributors keep the English-speaking community informed. Your work helps internationals navigate daily life in Wrocław with clarity and confidence.
Culture, Lifestyle & Events
If you thrive on music, film, theatre, or art, this is your space. You can preview upcoming events, review performances, or profile artists and cultural institutions. Your articles will guide readers towards the most interesting happenings in the city.
Food, Drink & Nightlife
Wrocław’s culinary and nightlife scenes are dynamic and constantly evolving. Contributors can review new openings, revisit cult favourites, or compare emerging trends—from craft beer and coffee scenes to fine dining and street food.
Opinion, Features & Long-Form
If you have something to say about how the city is changing, the experience of living abroad, or the realities of modern urban life, longer opinion pieces and features give you room to explore complex issues. This is where you can bring your voice, research, and perspective to the table.
What You Gain by Joining
Contributing to Wrocław Uncut offers more than bylines. It is an opportunity to build your portfolio, sharpen your media skills, and connect with people who share your interests.
- Real-world experience: Publish work on a live, growing platform with a dedicated audience.

What We Expect from Contributors
While enthusiasm is essential, Uncut also values reliability and professionalism. Contributors are encouraged to treat the platform as a collaborative editorial space, where each member’s work affects the overall quality and reputation of the site.
- Consistent participation: Regular contributions, even if modest in frequency, help keep the platform fresh.
- Respect for deadlines: Timely submission is key, especially for time-sensitive topics such as news and event coverage.
- Open communication: Stay in touch with editors, share ideas, and be willing to receive and give constructive feedback.

Is This Right for You?
Joining the Uncut team is a good fit if you are curious about Wrocław, enjoy creating content, and appreciate the value of an English-language window into the city. It suits:
- Students seeking hands-on media or communications experience.
- Professionals who want a creative outlet outside their day job.
- Expats and internationals looking to connect more deeply with their adopted city.
- Locals eager to present Wrocław from a fresh, inclusive perspective.
You do not have to be a native English speaker, but you should feel comfortable writing and communicating in English. A willingness to revise and improve your work in collaboration with editors is more important than perfection from the start.
How the Editorial Process Works
The editorial process is designed to be supportive, transparent, and efficient. Once you become part of the team, you will typically follow a simple rhythm:
- Pitch: Suggest topics or choose from a shared list of ideas that match your interests.
- Research & create: Gather information, conduct interviews if relevant, and draft your piece or prepare visual material.
- Edit & refine: Work with an editor to polish structure, clarity, and tone while keeping your voice intact.
- Publish: See your work go live and reach a growing community of readers in Wrocław and beyond.
- Promote & engage: Share your work on social media and interact with readers who respond to your articles.
This collaborative cycle not only improves each piece of content but also helps you grow as a writer or creator over time.
Becoming Part of Wrocław’s Story
Every city is shaped by the stories people tell about it. By joining the Uncut team, you participate directly in how Wrocław is seen by newcomers, visitors, and long-term residents. Whether you are uncovering a new street food spot, reviewing a local exhibition, or offering insight into city life, your work adds a unique perspective to the shared narrative of Wrocław.
If you are ready to explore, document, and share what makes this city special, the Uncut team offers a welcoming platform to do exactly that.
