DIGITAL VENUES FOR STUDENT ART DISPLAYS:
Canvas: Ages: 13-18 for fiction, poetry, plays, creative nonfiction, new media, cross-genre, art. Published four times a year and run by an all-student editorial board that publishes a variety of formats: online, pdf, ebooks, and print books. They also feature sound files of authors reading their work and some video interviews with authors. .
Celebrating Art: Grades K-12 for any art that can be captured in a still digital image. “Devoted to the promotion of the arts, art appreciation and teaching,” Celebrating Art holds three contests per year, in April, August, and December — and publishes the winning pieces in a hardcover book. On their blog, selected winners get their own features. Students who make the top ten in their age category win $25 and a free copy of the book, which normally costs $29.95. And there’s an incentive for educators, too: Teachers who have five or more students whose work is published win a free copy of the book.
The Claremont Review: Ages: 13-19 for fiction,poetry, plays, interviews, art that can be presented in still digital image
Lauch Pad: Ages 6-14 for fiction, nonfiction, and poetry, and illustrations by assignment
New Moon Girls: Girls only ages 8 and up for fiction, poetry, personal essays, how-to articles, art, comics, photography
Teen Ink: Ages 13-19 for poetry, fiction, nonfiction, reviews, art
VoodooChilli: No age range, but caution: some "adult content" that might not be appropriate for younger artists. Any form of visual art that can be captured in a still digital image is accepted. Artists create their own online portfolios to share with the world. From the website: “One of the main philosophies behind Voodoochilli is that anyone should feel able to show off their artwork, regardless of ability or training, and we have discovered that giving people the confidence to do just that really helps them to excel. As human beings, art is a part of us all, it is not something for an elite few.” A free account allows you to upload up to 12 images, and by participating actively in the community, artists can earn enough “chiles” to get a free Pro membership, which allows unlimited uploads and the opportunity to sell your artwork.
