Middle School Opportunities

The benefits are endless and choosing Creative Communication for your writing competition needs is an easy choice. Enter your kids, teens and students today.

Our goal is to give young writers and artists a platform to publish their most creative, fantastical, and unique ideas. We also want to give youth a free and accessible way to publish their pieces. We believe in equality and giving everyone a voice. So, what crazy ideas have you come up with? Submissions are accepted through the Google Form as flash fiction, short story, poetry, creative nonfiction, digital art, and traditional art. You must be at least 13 to submit and no older than 30. Please submit all pieces in the same genre in one submission per issue. You may submit to multiple genres.

Our issues are themed so be sure to check our website to find information about our current one!

Education 4 Advancement is looking to publish articles (and other forms of writing) about educational equity, high school, college, productivity, college applications, studying advice, etc! We accept one-time submissions through our email moco.e4a@gmail.com with the subject line “E4A Blog Submission” or through DM (@education4advancement on Instagram). We also accept Resident Contributors on a rolling basis (officer role that writes 2-4 articles per month).

Poems may be submitted by the poet, or by a parent/legal guardian, or a teacher. Teachers may select at most five students per year and submit on their behalf, with the assurance to us that you will be able to help us get a parent’s signed permission prior to publication. Please remember that we will be choosing our favorite 20 poems from thousands submitted—try not to get anyone’s hopes up prematurely.

The author of the poem must have been age 15 or younger when the poem was written, and 18 or younger when submitted. The poets may use their whole name, first name, or a pseudonym at their parents’ discretion. We will not publish any contact information.

A Pakistani community platform breaking down patriarchal structures, one unheard story at a time.

We want to provide a place for young writers to be able to gain credibility for their work. For this there is always the opportunity for the people to either be published in the journal, come on the podcast to be interviewed or apply for staff.

These allow for people to gain experience and or credibility for themselves as an author or professional within the writing world.

We have an rolling deadline for both the podcast and seasonal lit journals, but the themed journals will typically be only a month between submissions.
