We enjoy seeing pictures, stories, and poems by our young readers, but Cricket Magazine Group does not accept any contributions from children or students other than CRICKET® magazine’s Cricket League, SPIDER® magazine’s Spider’s Corner contest entries, and CICADA®magazine. SPIDER is mainly for readers who are nine years old or under, CRICKET is mainly for readers who are over nine years old, and CICADA is for young adult readers. However, these age guidelines are flexible. The specific theme and rules for each contest are found on the Cricket League page in CRICKET, the Spider’s Corner page in SPIDER, or the Submissions page in CICADA.
Please note that all submissions must be your own, original work, certified by a teacher or guardian. If you are age 13 or younger, please also include a document signed by your guardian granting permission to contact you regarding your submission and to acquire additional personal information as needed to process your work. All submissions become the property of Cricket Magazine Group and will not be returned. We assume no responsibility for unsolicited material. Submissions do not guarantee publication.

Winning contest entries are also posted online in the Kids section. To protect your privacy, the web postings will show only a child’s first name, last initial, age, and state.
