We publish student-created work on our website! To submit your own creation, please read the following guidelines thoroughly and use the submission form below.

We accept a broad range of written and visual pieces and are interested in hearing from diverse perspectives. That said, here are the general guidelines to qualify for submission:

You are a student
You are 15 years of age or older
You follow us on Tiktok

The work must be about a particular political or societal issue. Topics like climate change, civil rights, and democracy all work well. The piece can be an essay, research paper, short story, poetry, or visual art. Works outside of these categories may also qualify as long as they contain a substantive message that is delivered eloquently and engagingly. You may take a firm stance on a particular issue, but argumentative writing must be well-supported, and fictional works must have some literary merit. No hate speech, bigotry, or excessive defamation will be accepted. Your piece may be collaboratively written as long as all contributors are credited.
