A Note to Parents/Guardians:

We’re excited to partner with you on showcasing your child’s creative work while encouraging your child to use and share their skills, talents, and ideas. Renowned children’s book author/illustrator Peter H. Reynolds steers our ship, providing artistic direction for HUTCH and sharing his enthusiastic and inspirational energy with all of our contributors.

We consider work submitted by children in grades one through eight, and are happy to collaborate with elementary and middle school teachers as well as parents across the globe. We encourage all students to produce art and writing  that imparts positive values and promotes self-esteem. 

If accepted, your child will be contacted through your email address by our editor within 2 months of our submission deadline and given an approximate date for expected electronic publication on our HUTCH website. There are no costs involved in submitting work, and we do not offer compensation for published works.

All submissions need to have a parent or guardian complete a Parent Consent and Media Release form in order to be considered for publication. We are not able to inform kids whose work is not accepted, but encourage them to try again. 

Submissions do not need to be related to the current theme in order to be considered for publication. Violent or destructive content will not be considered.
