Its first issue received 180+ submissions from young writers and artists around the world.
A digital-only, English-language platform, the magazine was created to celebrate youth creativity in fiction, poetry, essays, and art.
Built by teens and twenty-somethings, the magazine offers something for everyone from dreamy storytelling to sharp cultural critique, with a shared mission to uplift emerging voices.
The debut issue established the magazine’s literary and cultural focus, spotlighting bold, honest, and heartfelt work.
With no thematic constraints, the issue embraced diverse forms, genres, and perspectives, drawing contributors and readers into a welcoming, creative space.
At this stage, the magazine operated independently, without formal collaborations or co-publishing efforts.
In 2025, The Cawnpore Magazine co-hosted the VOICE competition with 7 international youth magazines.
The competition celebrated self-expression, identity, and change, with cash prizes for selected winners.
It became a milestone event that connected young creatives across borders, reinforced the magazine’s global vision, and spotlighted its role in the international literary youth scene.
The Cawnpore Magazine continues to be 100% digital with no print editions to date.
All content is published in English, with a strong emphasis on accessibility and storytelling integrity.
The platform remains committed to its founding vision: to be a vibrant, inclusive space for students, teens, and twenty-somethings to share their voices with the world.
