Our online magazine has an archive of 12,000 pieces, all written and created by teen authors and artists, as well as a daily poem, artwork, story, essay, quote and more. Celebrity Interviews Teens submit interviews with special people in their families or communities for a chance to win an interview with a celebrity. Previous teen winners have held exclusive interviews with Hillary Rodham Clinton, Rev. Jesse Jackson, George Lucas and Sen. John Glenn. The contest encourages teens to discover everyday heroes and learn about the interview process. Teen Ink Contests Teen Ink offers a variety of contests that inspire teens to do everything - from offering a creative environmental solution and volunteering in their community, to writing about a family vacation and shooting great photos of their friends.
Awards range from art and writing resources to cash prizes.
Each year Teen Ink publishes three journals filled with poems and photographs, each showcasing the work of 200-plus teens.
