I came across this website/initiative in the latest Daily Digest for the Inspire Group.
Quarter Life Crisis is a youth-led project that aims to publish a book that will feature creative expressions (both art and writing) from youth around the world, on the topic of the issues impacting young adults in today’s modern culture, and how we are reacting to these messages and influences.

“This is not meant to be a self-help guide or a how-to book. Rather, we hope to amass a compilation that bridges continents, breaks down boundaries, and helps provide our generation with an outlet for creative self-expression and mutual understanding; a compilation that accurately deals with some of the issues and challenges facing our generation today without sugar-coating difficult circumstances or falling into self pity.”

Basically, anyone between the ages of 18-30 can submit B+W photography, art or pieces of writing to be considered for inclusion in the publication. I submitted a piece of art I did earlier this year, (that was actually for my Philosophy class) attempting to artistically answer the question: Who Am I? I know, revolutionary. But still, what came out of it was something I’m actually kind of proud of. And since the deadline date is March 31, 2006 (3 days away!) I may submit some of my other work. Its kind of provoking isn’t it, and I think that’s what the organizers were going for? Anyway, seems like a cool idea and I can’t wait to see if I get published.
