Nominate a teen here
    to be considered for interviews, challenges, scholarships, and the cover!
    ​(We've awarded nearly $200k​ in scholarships!)

    What Happens When a Teen is Nominated:
    1. A nomination form is submitted for the teen. Once reviewed by our team, the teen, their primary parent, and the nominator all receive an email with the next steps.
    2. The teen accepts their nomination by completing a short acceptance form with a parent within 48 hours. This form asks about their goals and accomplishments, which is helpful for our team to create more in depth interview questions personal to the teen when the time comes.
    3. Once that’s done, we’ll reach back out to the teen, parent, and nominator with the start date of the next contest and details on when to watch for that contest’s timeline.
    ✨ Super easy. Super fun. Super quick!

    ​"What a wonderful way to inspire people with other's own inspiration and stories.  These kids and their own experiences can help so many young people today, aspire to accomplish anything they would like to do and give themselves a sense of hope and reason for being.  Thank you for giving our young people today a promising platform to do good and feel good and inspire so many. 
    AnneMarie certainly appreciates the opportunity to be involved in this issue!"

    ​"Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of something so inspiring to others. From what I have seen, there are so many inspiring teens that your magazine is covering. I am honored to be among the group of teens chosen to have the opportunity to be featured in your magazine. Regardless of who wins,
    it is a joy to be among a group of such amazing teens."
    Sincerely, Alexandria Poe - Issue 19
​ "Just wanted to say I am loving the process of this. It's unlike the other teen/senior feature magazines where it's all just about submitting images, and the amount of images submitted. The teens in Inspiring Teens Magazine are involved and interacting in the entire process, with interviews where you learn about the teens being featured, and why they are "inspiring teens". Overall, a lot of substance, and in my view, worth the $5 per vote donation they collect.

I feel that Inspiring Teens Magazine is more worthwhile and beneficial to both teens and their photographers, as ITM is featuring the "Inspiring Teens" themselves, without whom, many photographers would be without work."
