Deadline: Wednesday, September 30, 2026 11:59 PM PDT (in 24 days).

Welcome to our Art category!

THIS MONTH'S THEMES:

"Inheritance – what we get from those who came before"
-OR-
"Alchemy and Botany"

Interpret these themes however you like, but make sure the theme is clear. That is, don’t just throw the words into a story and think that’s enough. We want to see how these themes inspire you.

Any genre is considered!
We encourage you to explore and play!
Surprise us with fresh perspectives and creative implementations.

Please pick ONE theme and submit only once in any category (Poetry, Art/Visual, Micro, Fiction, creative non-fiction, multimedia). Our standard guidelines (below) still apply.

We are so excited and can’t wait to read your submissions!
