Submission Spotlight Blog

Share a written narrative and 3–4 photos representing your experience. Selected submissions will be published on our website and may be shared on social media.

Featured Portrait + Film

A limited number of individuals are invited each year to participate in a filmed interview and portrait session with our creative team. These featured stories become part of the traveling exhibition and may be displayed in host locations across the Midwest.

We encourage submissions to be around 300–800 words in total, though you’re welcome to share as much or as little detail as feels right to you. You may choose to submit anonymously or use only your first name. Responses may be lightly edited for clarity and flow while keeping your voice and experience intact.
