We welcome contributions from public and private schools, art classes, families, individuals and homeschoolers. We publish every kind of artwork that can be submitted to us as a jpeg, poetry, essays, creative writing, opinion pieces, short stories, photography, photos of sculpture or gardens or other creative efforts.
Pandemic planning has made for a short deadline, and, like everything else, the 2021 Children’s Connections will be different than in the past.
For 2021, please send a curated collection of art from your class. We will do our best, but we are unlikely to be able to print every item submitted. Please include the first and last name of the student with each submission.
We ask that all submissions be digital so they can be sent through email. Writing should be submitted in .docx format or in google doc. If you are sharing a google doc with us, please turn on link sharing so that anyone with the link can edit the document and share with kimm.mary@gmail.com. Artwork should be photographed or scanned and provided in jpeg format.
Some suggestions, but different ideas are welcome:
To be published, we must have the full first and last name of the student artist or writer.
Identify each piece of writing or art, including the student's full name, age, grade and town of residence, plus the name of the school, name of teacher and town of school location.
Home schoolers’ contributions are welcomed.
Please send all submissions via email by Friday, Dec. 10, 2021. The Children's & Teens' editions will publish on Dec. 15, 2021.
You can see the 2019 editions (pre-pandemic) by visiting www.connectionnewspapers.com/PDFs/ and scrolling down to Children’s
