Discourse Magazine is inviting high school students from across Lithuania to take part in a special competition for our next issue.

This semester’s theme is Metamorphosis — all about change, growth, transformation, and becoming ✨

For us, Metamorphosis also marks a new chapter for the magazine itself: a bridge from one era into the next. We’d love to see how high school students interpret that idea in their own way.

How It Works & Who Can Submit

High school students from anywhere in Lithuania can submit their work.

The strongest submissions will be selected for publication in the next issue of Discourse Magazine.

It’s a chance to share your work with a wider audience, try something new, and possibly see your writing or artwork published in a student literary magazine.

🦋 Deadline: 10 October 2026 🦋

What Can You Submit?

We welcome:

• poetry;
• short fiction;
• non-fiction and essays;
• translations;
• visual art
• and your own ideas!

You can find the full submission guidelines on our website - including word limits, file types, and everything else you need to know before sending your work in.
