Each year Teen Ink publishes three journals filled with poems and photographs, each showcasing the work of 200-plus teens. The journals are distributed free to all our subscribing and sponsored schools nationwide. This annual award program enables schools to recognize the academic improvement and individual growth of more than 12,000 students with free books, book plates and award certificates. Educator of the Year Awards Hundreds of students nominate outstanding educators each year. Essays are published in our print magazine and up to 20 educators are honored with cash awards.
More educators receive honorable mention recognition.
