Anniversary Edition – Accord Magazine

The ACCORD Magazine is making a special issue for NIS’s 30th year anniversary, which would be published on October 10th. We are gathering literary and non-literary works including creative short stories poems, artworks, and any works of art that you think are worth sharing with the community. We will select 10~12 best pieces to be included in this issue. This would be a perfect opportunity for you to share your creative, original, and outstanding work with the school community.

Also, if you are from grades 6 to 10, this could also count as a volunteering experience, and for grades 11 to 12, you can use this experience for the creativity strand if it not graded. These and other experiences can also be used as examples in your GCD stories. However, please bear in mind that some follow-up editing may be required.

Please submit your work through accordmagazine@nanjing-school.com before October 1st and name the document as Your name_Your grade_The title of your work (eg. Andy Zeng_Grade12_ACCORDSUBMISSION). If you are submitting artwork, please submit a high-quality photo of it, or you can bring your artwork to school to let us take the photo for you.

We look forward to your submissions!

Sincerely,
ACCORD Magazine Club
