How To Submit Your Work

Entries are accepted from Oct. 15th to  October 31st by 5 pm.  Sooner is better!  There are often errors.

Use the link below  to submit your story or  art online.  If you are under 18, a Guardian needs to sign it, so have them nearby.  If troubles, email our Festival Administrator.   

How to Submit

Online Form To Submit your Art or Short Story

Online Google ART form to submit:  https://forms.gle/8ivvWTjLwXZJP2Hf6


Online Google STORY form to submit:  https://forms.gle/DYx3WreSZx5KoSkC7


Complete one of these forms, one question at a time.  If you are under 18, a guardian must "sign." (Sign a piece of paper, take a photo of that, then upload it to the form when asked.) 


You will be asked to submit a short BIO of yourself, 30-50 words, so have that written out to type in. 


ARTISTS must submit an ART STATEMENT (no name on it) to explain how you met the first 3 art criteria concerning climate solutions, and what your vision is.   Compose that ahead of time to simply type in, or copy & paste onto the form. 150 words maximum.


  If you really cannot use the online form,  email our Festival Administrator for help. We'll leave an updated .pdf form here, below ,  just in case.            youthimaginefuture@gmail.com
