Each year, approximately 150 teens in grades 8 to 12 participate in our mentoring workshops and are published in the Massachusetts high school magazine of the arts. Their work is selected from the roughly 600 works submitted annually via our website. Our participating teens represent more than 200 public and private schools and afterschool community arts organizations across the state.the juries are comprised primarily of college student interns with a background in literary and visual arts. Jurors select work for publication on the basis of a rubric and also seek to ensure that teens from different grade levels and from public and private schools are represented. The print edition of the magazine is distributed free to published students and for an annual subscription fee of $27 to schools, libraries, and members of the public.
