EKPHRASTIC SUBMISSIONS!
Open to young writers, poets, and illuminators ages 6-16
Hi! Just a reminder that Phosphorescent & Blue Bell Review’s YOUNG WRITERS EKPHRASTIC CONTEST (!) is still open. Not only that, we’re extending the deadline to February 21 because we love all of you so much. You can submit here.
The winners will receive publication in both magazines, an e-certificate, and an eternal place in the literary canon. Looks great on college apps, too.
If you’re over 16, you can submit to Phosphorescent’s general submissions here.
If you’ve submitted already, make sure to subscribe to our Substack (and Blue Bell’s, while you’re at it). We’ll announce the winners here and on our other platforms, so stay tuned!
Here’s the prompt image, for your reference:
