THE MAGAZINE is on the hunt for a Real Bratz heroine to celebrate as a community leader. The publication wants to lift up young women who blend passion with hard work and a genuine commitment to helping others. The winner will receive $1,000 to donate to a youth program of their choice and will be featured in the glossy pages of THE MAG. To participate, entrants should submit a video that lasts no more than two minutes and explains what makes them a Real Bratz and how they put that title into action in their daily life. The call for submissions runs from July 15 to September 15, and all contest details are available on the official contest page.
