Can art and photography submissions be featured, because I heard that they can't for some reason. If this is true, why?

It is true that they cannot be featured.

The reason is, for a very long period of time, Art/Photography dominated the featured works block. There were only 1 or 2 pieces of prose/poetry featured at any given time, and sometimes there were no written pieces featured. Because this is the Young Writers Society, the mods decided that it didn't reflect well to have art/photography featured on the home page, so it was restricted to lit works only.

Oh, okay.

Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.
