Contests

In the short, dark days of December, make it a mission to find vibrant colors around you and share your discoveries in photography, painting, or another medium of your choice.

Autumn is a season of transitions and contrasts, beginnings and endings. In poetry or prose, fiction or nonfiction, make this ephemeral season come to life.
