Among my many emails, I had a recent one from NAEA Elementary Division about a new publication, Magic Dragon. According to their website, this quarterly magazine highlights the art and writing of elementary age children, ages 6 - 12. They are a Winner of Distinguished Achievement Award from the Association of Educational Publishers.
The artwork featured on their site from recent issues looks beautiful so I will definitely look into this! Unfortunately, their link to the Permission to Publish form is not working - hope that's fixed soon!
You can also visit them on their Facebook page.
