Winter Call for Artists

Deadline: February 28, 2021
Entry Fee: from $25 to $45
Prizes: publication in the journal, promotion

Winter is the coldest season of the year. Containing the shortest day and the longest night, it suggests inactivity and decay. However, some would say that winter is beautiful unto itself, fresh and invigorating. Others would add that winter brings greater appreciation for summer. That trials and rest periods give birth to growth and energy. Seasons of change are coming. Share your interpretation, literal or symbolic, of WINTER with words or images.

Submitted work can include visual art – paintings, drawings, photography, mixed media, digital, printmaking, installations, ceramics, fabric, jewelry, sculpture, and other 2- and 3-dimensional media – and written art – fiction, poetry, short stories and other written explorations (up to 900 words).
