Image description: Beige background with yellow spotlight going into the center of the image. Books in the top right corner with green polka dots overlapping. Text reads, “Are you an artist? Writer? Poet? Creator? Apply to our Student Spotlight. One student or recent graduate will be featured monthly.”

We want to showcase student-produced work that centres disability and mad populations and/or uses an equity, diversity, and inclusion lens. 

We invite U of T students and recent graduates to submit their work and we will select students to be spotlighted where their work, along with a 150-300 word article, will be featured on our website and social media accounts. Students chosen for the spotlight will be invited to answer a few questions to help us construct the article. 

We are looking for diverse pieces which includes essays, artwork, poems or other literary pieces. We will also be accepting submissions from a person, people or organizations to be featured such as activists, activism and advocacy groups, community groups, etc.

We welcome your most creative pieces and if you have any questions about submission guidelines, or anything else, please email board@uoftsba.com
