What is the Showcase?
The showcase is a section of MMM where readers can post their best creative work to be seen by others. Each showcase entry includes the following parts: 1) the picture, piece of writing, video, song, etc.; 2) a brief interview about the work; 3) a short blurb on the artist.
Do I need to give a description or explanation for my piece?
Yes. Before we post your work, we'll email you a few questions to answer about your piece.
Does my work have to be "Christian" to be included in the Showcase?
No, although it should be God-glorifying and should not contradict the values outlined in our Statement of Faith. You may, however, be asked to give some insight into the spiritual meaning behind your piece, so work with depth and meaning is preferred over work that doesn't carry a specific message.
How old do I need to be?
You should be between the ages of 14 and 29.
Can you include a link to my Flickr, DeviantArt, or YouTube account?
Yes, but please make sure that everything on your page is G-rated -- remember, we have some young readers here! If you do not moderate comments left on your work, please make sure that there are no crude/offensive comments before sending us the link. Thanks!
What are the chances my work will be included?
We are unable to include all entries sent to us, but the more original and meaningful your piece, the more likely it is to get in. If you don't hear from us right away, don't worry -- we publish some pieces several months after we first receive them. It's worth a shot!
Can I send you more than one piece?
Cerainly! Send as many pieces as you want -- they can be in different categories, too.
Will you edit my work?
We edit all writing (in your submission and your interview) to ensure proper spelling and grammar; otherwise, Showcase submissions are not edited. If you wish, however, we can add a watermark to your art/photography stating that you own the copyright to it (this will prevent others from using your work without your permission).
Can I be featured more than once?
Your work can be featured up to 2 times per year.
What are staff showcases?
Occasionally, MMM's staff members add their work to the showcase as an example of what a standard entry should look like. It also gives readers an opportunity to know a little bit more about the creative journeys of MMM's creators.
