​Lucky 7: an Ekphrastic Marathon
 
Try something intense and unusual- an ekphrastic marathon, celebrating seven years of The Ekphrastic Review
 
Join us on July 17, 2022 for our craziest challenge yet! 
 
It’s an ekphrastic marathon! With amazing guest judges, Meg Pokrass for flash, and Brent Terry for poetry.
 
Write to fourteen different prompts, poetry or flash fiction, in thirty minute drafts.
 
We will gather in a specially created Facebook page for prompts, to chat with each other, and support each other. 
 
Time zone or date conflicts? No problem. Page will stay open for one week. Participate when you can. The honour system is in effect- thirty minute drafts per prompt, fourteen prompts. Participants can do the seven hour marathon or two sessions of 3.5 hours. 
 
Polish and edit your best pieces later, then submit five to our Lucky 7 e-chapbook.
 
One poem and one flash will win $100 each.
 
Thank you to our flash judge Meg Pokrass for the marathon technique.
 
Marathon: July 17, 2022 10 am to 6 pm EST (including breaks)
(For those who can’t make it during those times, any hours that work for you are fine. For those who can’t join us on July 17, catch up within one week.)
 
Story and poetry deadline: July 31, 2022
Up to five works of poetry or flash fiction or a mix, works started during marathon and polished later. 500 words max- include a brief bio, 75 words or less
 
Chapbook e-anthology selections and winning entries announced sometime in September.
 
We are delighted to have guest judges Meg Pokrass and Brent Terry.
 
Meg Pokrass is the queen of microfiction, with nearly (or over?) a thousand journal credits. Her flash is widely anthologized in both small press publications and Norton’s. She is the founder of the Best Microfiction Anthology series and the New Flash Fiction Review. She has been a guest judge for many flash contests, at Mslexia and Fractured Lit. Meg is also well known for her microfiction workshops and creativity prompts. She is the author of The House of Grana Padano (with Jeff Friedman), The Loss Detectors, Spinning to Mars, and many more.
 
 
Brent Terry is an award-winning writer and a runner who teaches at Easter Connecticut State University. He won the Connecticut Poetry Prize and was nominated for the PEN Faulkner Award for fiction. He is the author of The Body Electric, Troubadour Logic, and 21st Century Autoimmune Blues, among others. He is an accomplished Spoken Word artist. He loves Dr. Pepper.

Hi. I tried to pay via card $10 for the marathon & the platform kept saying my CVV code was wrong. I never got to hit "Submit" So then I went all the way out and came in again to start over but when I tried to begin again the platform said I would be purchasing 2 x $10 and I could not override it to 1 x $10. SO... am I recorded as having paid a 1x $10 even tho I didn't "submit." ? Thanks for your help!

Hi Julie,
The marathon was on Sunday. You can do it on your own time by the end of the week. If you want to do that, please shoot me an email at theekphrasticreview@gmail.com and I'll send you a payment link and the Facebook page link as well.

Lorette, The guidelines for Lucky 7 subs say "500 words max - up to 5 works". If I want to submit prose, does this mean I can send up to 5 stories that are each no more than 500 words? Or am I allowed to send up to 5 stories that all together total 500 words? The answer may make a difference in what I send. --Norbert
