XQ and Youth Speaks Announce Brave New Schools Contest

XQ: The Super School Project

Posted May 2017

Imagine a school where each student is a leader, where learning is joyful, where arts are embraced. Picture a school where students wake up eager every morning to learn something new, to share ideas and explore new ways to think.

XQ: The Super School Project is teaming up wtih Youth Speaks to launch an open call for storytelling that reimagines what a high school could be.

Across the country, 13- to 22-year-olds are invited to submit short original poems, raps, and stories that rethink the "Brave New Schools" of our future. Twenty-five finalists, ten winners, and five Brave New Schools Grand Prize Winners will receive scholarships and other special opportunities courtesy of XQ: The Super School Project.
