Etan Thomas Presents: Voices of the Future

What will happen tomorrow? Next week? A year from now? The easy answer is: Who knows? But the truth is both more complicated and yet simple: It’s up to you. The future will be how you see it, what you make it, and how hard you work to get there.

Led by NBA player, poet, and activist Etan Thomas, Voices of the Future is a project for anyone age 13 to 25 interested in writing about how they envision the days ahead. What issues are important to you—the wars in Iraq/Afghanistan, HIV/AIDS, gun control, race? How have these and other problems affected you directly? And how would you solve them if given the chance?

Contributions to Voices of the Future can be made in the form of verse (poetry), prose (stories and essays) or anything in between. The only stipulation is that they reflect your sincere aspirations for the future. That they consider what the world could be with you as part of the equation for change. The submissions that best succeed at this will be included in the final book.* Contributors to Voices of the Future will also have the opportunity to work alongside Etan Thomas, a poet and a regular contributor to the Huffington Post and slamonline.com.
