Local teens aged 13 to 19 in Waterloo Region, Ontario, Canada, are invited to participate in our Teen Writing Contest from March 9 to April 30, 2024. They can submit original poems or short stories for a chance to win prizes and get published in Inkling Magazine's 4th edition.

Entries must be under 1000 words for short stories and 20 lines for poems, and no AI assistance is allowed. Prizes will be awarded for first, second, and third place in both categories, with the top five winners in each category featured in the magazine.

Submissions will be accepted online until April 30, with judging in May and winners announced in June.
