Create What We’ll Wear!

​

We’re in the early stages of building an online merch shop for Palm Beach Area Gifted Youth Mensa, and we want the first featured design to come from one of our own. This isn’t a logo redesign. We’re looking for original, youth-driven, visually compelling artwork that feels authentic and bold. Think wearable art, not corporate branding. Details and submission information available here.

Have a brag, story, artwork, photo, or project to share? We’re always looking to spotlight the incredible creativity and accomplishments of our gifted youth. Submit your work and be part of the next issue.

Read something amazing lately? We’d love to hear about it! We welcome reviews from all genres and all reading levels — picture books to philosophy, graphic novels to historical epics. There’s no ongoing commitment — share whenever inspiration strikes. Help spark curiosity and inspire fellow readers in our community.
