A space where young creators become visible. 
We believe every child has a story—and we want the world to hear it. Our literary and art contests invite children and teens to create, write, draw, and think. Each year we look for original submissions that we’re delighted to publish in Story Lux Junior and Story Lux Tweens.
Children up to 15 years of age can participate—individually or through schools, libraries, or mentors. Selected entries receive publication, a certificate, and a symbolic prize—but most of all, the feeling of becoming part of the From little to Great readers community.

How to enter: send your submission to info@mvb.si
Email subject line: CONTEST TITLE – FIRST AND LAST NAME
Please attach your submission and contact details; if you are under 18, also include parent/guardian contact information.
We do not send confirmation emails upon receipt. After the contest closes, we will contact only the selected participants.
