Submission Guidelines

We are looking for work from students that reflects their experiences, their environment, and their growth during the COVID-19 pandemic. To get you thinking about the ways in which your life has changed as a result of the pandemic, see our list of prompts here. Each submission should include an image with accompanying text. The text can be any form of literary prose of any length, and it should work to amplify and give weight to the image.  

You can take new pictures and prose or use pictures you took during earlier times of the pandemic.
