GirlSpoken invites you to join voices with young women across Canada and 
contribute to a book of writings and artwork on growing into ourselves...

What We're Looking For:
We are looking for bold pieces from 13-19 year old girls and young women 
on the challenges, big moments and sweet joys of growing up. GirlSpoken 
invites you to speak your mind, to explode with colour or to capture 
photos that reveal what you're all about. We want to hear from you about 
what makes you who you are, what you value, how you express yourself and 
the things you have experienced. What do you want to tell the world 
about what it's like to be you? We are looking for non-fiction pieces 
that are inspired by your own life.

The Nitty Gritty:
Your piece can take the form of a piece of writing or a self portrait in 
the medium of your choice (photography, drawing, painting, collage etc.).

Writing
Written submissions should be based on your own experiences and can take 
any form (stories, poetry, rants, ramblings, journal entries, lyrics, 
letters, spoken word pieces, etc.).

Artwork
We are looking for self-portraits that are a creative _expression of who 
you are. Your self-portraits can be in any medium (photography, drawing, 
painting, collage, etc.). Each self portrait must include a short 
paragraph on what the piece means to you. Any artwork that is 
3-dimensional or larger than a letter sized (81/2 x 11") sheet of paper, 
should be submitted as a photograph of the piece.

Submission info
Each contributor can submit multiple pieces. Please send your piece by 
post or email with your completed permission to print form (found at 
www.girlspoken.ca). Include all contact information possible (name 
and/or pen name, age, mailing address, email address, telephone number). 
If you would like your work returned, please include a self-addressed 
stamped envelope. You can choose to contribute anonymously or use a pen 
name. If you are submitting a previously published piece, please provide 
the publisher's contact information.

A complete book information package is available for downloading at 
www.girlspoken.ca (includes a poster, cover letter, permission to print 
form and suggested activities).

The deadline for submissions is January 31st, 2005
