Youth Submissions
Youth submissions are welcome. Follow the steps indicated above except for the following:
- For bios, just indicate your name, grade level, city, state, and country
- Please indicate whether would like to be acknowledged with both your first and last name, first name only, or a pseudonym.
- Filling out the interview questions is optional.
- Include written permission of an adult in your household (e.g. I give HS permission to publish my child's submission consisting of image, work and information online)
We will feature an artist or two each week. We will send the artists an alert when their interviews are posted and we will also broadcast on social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter. Please feel free to spread the word among other artists. Since this is a collaborative activity, we expect each featured author to comment on other artist's work. Please remember that since our aim is to encourage artists, we will only publish constructive and positive feedback.

Thanks for this initiative. I definitely plan to submit my sculpture pieces.
This is excellent Shaila. Well done!
I will submit some poetry from my next book 'The Dances of Life - More Unanswered Questions and Unquestioned Answers'.
Great work by all the artists. Have you thought of publishing the collective works?
That is an excellent suggestion, Alnoor. Thanks for visiting. I look forward to your submission.
