Announcing: The Fantastic Ekphrastic Awards 2021

Each year, starting in 2020, on Groundhog Day, The Ekphrastic Review announces 10 names for the editor's choice awards. Congratulations to this year's fine writers for this recognition of ekphrastic excellence. Many thanks to our tireless prize nomination consultants who worked with editor Lorette C. Luzajic. They read carefully all year and provide valuable insight and suggestions for The Fantastic Ekphrastic Awards as well as Best of the Net and the Pushcart Prize. Thank you Laura Cherry, Carole Mertz, and Alarie Tennille.

With no further adieu, please join us in congratulating these writers for their outstanding contributions to ekphrastic literature!

Please share this post with your social media and writing circles so that these authors may be read far and wide!
