This national honor celebrates outstanding middle school, high school, and higher education literary magazines that are student-produced and the educators who support them. Magazines are judged on the quality of student writing, art, and overall production. Results for the 2025 competition were released in late February 2026. The Toad is a beautiful reflection our students' creativity, craft, and commitment to art and the written word.
