We are incredibly sorry that this wasn’t included in the FAQ beforehand! It had completely slipped our minds since the zine is free and SFW. However, considering the themes of Persona and the themes our current applicants want to explore (which are dark within reason), we ask that our applicants be of at least 16 years of age as of the current year on July 16th. We will be updating the FAQ accordingly. Sorry again for confusion. -Mod Lux
