University Liggett School's Place-Based Humanities Program invites eighth through twelfth grade students from across the country to participate in its semi-annual student journal. You have an opportunity to write an article telling a local story from your community and connecting that story to broader regional, national, or world themes.

• Must include a title/cover page including the following information: title of the article, author name(s), date written, school/organization

• Must be written in English

• Must include citations (in text and bibliography) according to MLA, APA, or Chicago Manual of Style
