Christmas Isn't Cancelled: Holiday Writing Contest! $100 Prize

Click on cover to purchase ebook for $10 CAD.

Our First Cash Contest!

Since so many of us are being locked down, locked out, separated from loved ones, the month ahead, usually the merriest for many of the year, looks bleak.

On the up side, there is lots of time to reflect on art and to write. With all the stores closed, no mulled wine gatherings, no Nutcracker ballet performances, no midnight mass, no carolling socials, what's left?

Do not despair! Christmas isn't cancelled! 

Transform your bleak and lonely holidays immersed in 35 visual art prompts. Lorette's carefully curated collection will intrigue and inspire. The ebook is 10$ CAD (about $7 USD) and your purchase helps support The Ekphrastic Review. Thank you.

You can send up to seven poems or short stories in by Christmas Day and we will publish selected works in a special showcase feature on site  in the weeks to follow. 

And we've just decided to make the Christmas challenge into a cash awarded contest- from the selected entries for the showcase, we will choose a winner. The prize is $100!

Rules for submissions:

1. Submit to theekphrasticreview@gmail.com by midnight, December 25, 2020.

2. Use HOLIDAY CONTEST in subject line.
