365 for Kids Create & Share Portal
Create. Share. Celebrate.
The 365 for Kids Create & Share Portal gives children and teens a place to share original artwork, writing, and audio with a real audience.
Organizations can create a dedicated Community Showcase for the children and families they serve. Parents and legal guardians can submit selected child-created work to the Family Community Gallery.
Why Sharing Matters
Sharing gives children a real audience for their ideas and creativity.
It can build confidence, encourage continued participation, and help families and communities celebrate children’s effort and growth.
The goal is recognition, not competition.
One Portal. Two Trusted Ways to Share.
The Portal uses two different publication pathways so that organizations and families can participate in a way that is practical, responsible, and appropriate for them.
For Organizations
Libraries, schools, nonprofits, homeschool groups, and other children’s organizations can create a dedicated Community Showcase.
Approved representatives can upload artwork, writing, and audio to their organization’s page.
For Families
Parents and legal guardians can submit child-created artwork, writing, and audio to the Family Community Gallery.
Family submissions are reviewed before publication.
What Can Be Shared?
Children’s original work may be shared in three formats:
Visual Art
Drawings, paintings, illustrations, collages, mixed-media work, and photographs of child-created projects.
Writing
Poems, short stories, essays, letters, reflections, and other original texts.
Audio
Read-aloud recordings, storytelling, spoken reflections, and literary interpretations.

How Work Is Presented
Published work may include:
- the title;
- the child’s approved public display name;
- age or age group;
- the creative work;
- an optional description;
- the participating organization, when applicable.
Children’s full names and unnecessary identifying information are not collected or displayed.
My Friend Was Brave
One day at recess, a new girl fell down and some children laughed. My friend Lily went to help her and said, “It is not nice to laugh when someone is hurt.”
I think Lily was brave because she looked a little scared, but she still did what was right. Then she asked the new girl to play with us.
That day I learned that courage does not always mean doing something big. Sometimes courage means being kind when other people are not.

Responsible Sharing
Organizations must confirm that they have the required permissions before publishing work.
Family submissions must be completed by a parent or legal guardian and are reviewed before publication.
365 for Kids may hide or remove content that does not meet its privacy, safety, copyright, publication, or technical guidelines.
Open Year-Round
The Create & Share Portal is open throughout the year.
It is separate from the annual 365 for Kids programs, which have their own forms, dates, and participation requirements.
Give Children’s Creativity a Place to Be Seen
For organizations: create a dedicated showcase for the children and families you serve.
For families: submit selected child-created work to the Family Community Gallery.
