VOYA's Cover Photo Contest for Teens:
TEENS ON THE PLANET READ

“Teen photographers' own creations appear on the front cover of Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA) magazine. On the theme of "Teens on the Planet Read," VOYA wants photographs that express the relationship between teens and the world of reading. Images should portray teens with any type of reading material: books, magazines, comics, computers, their own creative writing, media of any kind—even participating in library programs or other events. Pictures might be taken in teens' bedrooms, libraries, classrooms, or outdoors—anywhere on the Planet Read.”

This contest is ongoing! Submit your entries to WTPL and we will sponsor them in VOYA’s contest!

  • All photos must be marked clearly with the name of the photographer and a suggested photo title or caption. For prints, use a sticky note on the back of the photo. For digitals, place the information in an e-mail.

  • Drop off prints at WTPL or e-mail digital pictures to Mrs. Rizzo at wtplteens@gmail.com
  • Tips for Winning Photos: Avoid amateur snapshots. Photos must be well composed, well focused, and capable of sharp reproduction when enlarged. Seasonal themes, humor, and unusual poses catch the editor's attention. Award-winning photos from a local library or school photography contest are welcomed.
Teen photographers whose pictures are picked by VOYA to be published will receive a $50 prize and three copies of the magazine.
 
You may also submit photos for the next issue of TeenThink:WTPL's Teen Literary Magazine. The deadline for our next issue is 10/10 (find more information on our TeenThink page).
