Make something beautiful ordinary. Then send it to us.

There’s nothing more beautiful than an ordinary sunrise; how might such moments enter your work?  Consider the challenge of the beautiful ordinary, and then enter our contest with the results.  And hurry!  There are less than two weeks of sunrises before our deadline.

Poets, essayists and fiction writers may submit their work for the 2019 Dogwood Literary Awards at the link below, or learn more by visiting the “submit” button from the Dogwood home page.  $1,000 will be awarded for the best poem, essay, and story entered into the contest, and all submissions are considered for publication.  Entry fee is $10.  Submissions close September 5th.

Though the judges for the contest change every year, all submissions are considered for publication by the editors.  To familiarize yourself with last year’s issue, consider ordering a Dogwood 2018, Issue 17, now in stock and ready to ship to any one who follows this link to purchase a copy.
