The Winter Anthology Annual Contest

Please send as much poetry or prose as you like. Whole manuscripts are welcome. Send writings of which you are the sole author and that were written during this millennium. Published and unpublished writings are equally welcome. To get a sense of our aesthetics, see our previous volumes. All work will be read first by the editors, then passed on this year's judge, Srikanth Reddy, who will pick the winner. Multiple entries in multiple genres are welcome. The deadline is January 10th, 2026. The winner will be declared in February 2026. The winner will be published in Volume 16 of The Winter Anthology and receive a $1000 honorarium. Finalists will also be considered for publication.
