We would like to extend an invitation to all PorColombians to become contributing writers for PorColombia.net. Articles must have a written element as a central part of the story but you may use any other mediums like photos, slideshows, video, audio, and interactive features to tell your story better.

One paramount goal of our organization is to uplift Colombia's image abroad and what a better way to do it than write about it.

Don't forget that toggling between your busy college life and extracurricular activities can be challenging at times. We will work with you while your story takes shape and until it is ready to publish.
