Thank you to everyone who participated in our Autumn '24 Writing and Art Contest! We received a remarkable 190 submissions that responded to the challenge to "convey the ephemeral beauty of fall in the literary genre or visual art medium of your choice."

Congratulations to the winning writers and visual artists and to our many honorable mentions! Our judges were so taken with the quality of the submissions that the prize pool had to be expanded from three to four winners in both categories. 

Each of you brought your own unique and inspiring interpretation of the fall season, and the results can be seen in the November issue of The Voice, which showcases the eight winners and 32 honorable mentions.
