- Enlightium Spotlight provides students with a platform that highlights students’ perspectives and allows them to share their writing with the world.
- Enlightium Academy is proud of the writing our students do and wants to give them the chance to publish their work, both pieces written for class and original writing.

Student Advantages
- Students have the chance to see their work published on the Spotlight website, which will be linked to the Enlightium Parents App.
- Writing and refining pieces for this publication is good practice and will build up young writers.
- For students interested in writing competitions, submitting work for Spotlight is a great place to start.
Submission Process
- There are three options for submissions. Each month, submissions may come from any of these three sources:
- Students may submit a piece of original writing that they have worked on in the past in a genre of their choice (fiction, nonfiction, or poetry).
- Students may write an original piece of writing that incorporates that month’s Special Challenge, which will be communicated by English teachers and on Enlightium Social.
- Students may submit a piece of writing based on a teacher's recommendation.
- Prompts are published on the first Monday of each month and students have one week to send their submissions.
- The student whose writing is chosen will work directly with faculty to edit the piece of writing for publication
- New student writing is posted at the end of the month and beginning of the following month, to allow time for the editing and publication process.
Submission Requirements
- Currently enrolled at Enlightium Academy.
- Grades 6–12.
- Writing is completely original and has not previously been published somewhere else.
- Any sources are properly cited.
- Submissions are limited to two pieces per prompt.
Student Privacy
In order to protect students' privacy, all blogs will be posted using the student's first name, last initial, and state only (i.e. John S., Kansas). Once published, students can tag themselves on social media but Enlightium will not add links to students’ personal profiles.
