"Love + Lust" Juried Writing Competition
Open to Interpretation is now calling on writers to submit work for consideration in a juried book competition.
Project Details:
Open
to Interpretation is a collaborative book project bringing together
photographers, poets and writers. Each book begins with a themed call
for photos. The chosen photos become the literary inspiration for the
writers' submissions. A book is created that matches each winning photo
with two stories or poems that offer different interpretations of the
image. The unique collaboration adds new dimensions to both the photos
and the written word.
The
photographers sent us their images and interpretations of Love + Lust.
Now it's your turn to use the images to inspire your words. Your poems
and stories may include the literal description of the work, personal
memories, metaphorical associations, or your mood inspired by the image.
Poetry, flash fiction, narrative, ekphrastic poetry, short story,
memoir, non-fiction, song lyrics, myth, tall tale or fairy tale - all
genres are acceptable.
Theme: Love + Lust
