Inland 360 is seeking reader input for stories being planned for this fall.

Students are back in school, some online and some in person. Inland 360 is inviting students in grades six through high school to submit personal essays about how the pandemic has changed their experience of school. 

What is new and different about school? In what ways has the pandemic changed school for the better or worse? One winner will receive a $25 gift card to a local restaurant. All will be considered for publication.

Essays should be no longer than 600 words and include full name, age/grade, school, city and an email address or phone number where you can be contacted. 

Submissions can be emailed to contests@inland360.com and must be received by 5 p.m. Oct. 4.
