2021 Collaboration Contest

Writers, gather up the members of your dream team because we’re opening up submissions for our annual Collaboration Contest! From July 15 to August 31, we’re looking for writing teams of two or more people to submit their fiercest story, poem, essay, or hybrid piece of 1,000 words or less (1 piece per entry).

Entries will be read anonymously (please do not include identifying information on your entry documents or risk disqualification), and we ask that you submit only one piece per entry.

There is a $3 fee to enter, and we are pleased to provide 10 fee waivers for A.L.A.N.A. (African, Latinx, Asian, Native American) and/or Trans Writers on a first come, first served basis. To submit with the fee waiver, please click here and be sure that your team’s submitter fulfills one or more of the requirements.

Winners will be published in our spring issue, out in March 2022, and receive a $300 prize and the eternal fulfillment that comes with publication.
