About
Calling all young writers, artists, and activists! The International Human Rights Art Festival is curating a digital anthology of youth writing and art on human rights and social justice. We are calling for young people 21 years and under to submit poetry, fiction, essays, journalism, visual art, photography, or any other medium that highlights the beauty and strength of humanity. You can choose to create a piece about a human rights issue/violation that is affecting the world, or something that highlights the beauty, sincerity, and vulnerability of our world. We want to highlight as many young voices as possible, so please submit as soon as you can!
