How do I submit an entry for publication?

All you need to do is click on the Tell Your Story link on the Shining Moments page.  We accept any  original writing about a moment (yours or others) when one or more character (inner) strengths triumphed and helped you.  As an organization promoting multilingualism, curaJOY accepts entries in any language from anyone, anywhere in the world aged 6 – 18.  However, contestants to the Shining Moments Writing Contest submitting entries in languages other than English should also submit an English translation (machine translation like google or DeepL will do.)

For those over our writing contest’s age limit of 18 or competition shy, you don’t have to submit for the writing contest.  Recounting a successful experience boost your mood, self-image and your words might be exactly what someone in despair needs to hear!  You can go to this page to read the motivation behind the Shining Moments contest.

Contestants may submit their Shining Moments stories and enter the contest at https://blog.curajoy.com/shining-moments/.
