Poetry Spark Submission Form – iGeneration Youth

Welcome to iGeneration Youth Poetry Spark!

Our mission is to publish a spectrum of voices and perspectives. We hope to encourage poetry for creative self-expression and engagement. Surprise us and our readers!

We are open to submissions of original poetry by youth ages 5 to 18. The submission deadline to be included in our March print issues is January 31, 2021. Please submit 1-3 poems in a Google Document with Times New Roman, 12 pt. font. We do not have length minimum or maximum requirements, although we recommend you keep you poems under two pages.

If accepted, students will need to fill out signed consent forms and provide further information. For publication, you may use your whole name, first name, or a pseudonym. We will not publish any contact information.

All work must be previously unpublished, and we do not accept simultaneous submissions (please don’t submit the same piece to Poetry Spark and another contest or journal).

Submissions will be evaluated on originality, creativity, and voice and imagery.
