VOICES FROM THE STORM
Call for Submissions
Voices from the Storm
As most of us know by now, the U.S. was severely affected by multiple disasters in the Gulf States, resulting from hurricanes Katrina and Rita (and perhaps Wilma). We at flashquake would like to set up a venue where people affected by these disasters can share their stories and art. Fiction, poetry, creative non-fiction, artwork and photographs are welcome from anyone directly affected by the storm. This includes those who endured or were evacuated from the affected areas, their family members, rescuers, volunteers, foster homes and so forth.
Please, no submissions from those who weren't personally impacted by the hurricanes and/or floods directly.
This will be an ongoing project — entries selected for publication will be published in one long broadsheet that will be available on our site, and for download, as a PDF document. See our regular guidelines for information on length and rules of submission; all submissions should follow our regular guidelines. Submission to the category Voices from the Storm does not preclude submission to our regular journal.
Published entries will receive a monetary award in the amount of $25. The reading periods are as follows:
- March 1 - April 15, 2006: Broadsheet 3
Broadsheets will be published shortly after each reading period closes. Please submit entries to:
voices@flashquake.org
Acceptance notices will be sent out prior to publication. Unfortunately, we will be unable to send out rejection notices or comments for these submissions.
