How to contribute

What’s essential

When filling out the 4-part form, we need your:

email address
state and postcode
confirmation you’ve read and agree to our terms.

If you are 11 or under, you need to ask your parent or carer if it’s okay to share your story.

Story qualities

We put together a list of qualities for you to describe your story. We ask you to choose at least one. This tells us more about your collective voice and lets us group stories in different ways.

Why we need your email

We won’t publish your email address. We’ll only use it:

to let you know your story is live
if there’s a problem publishing your story
to talk more if you have an object we’d like to add to our collection.

What’s optional

You can choose to add your:

first name
age.
