Writing Competition and Call for Submissions: Hedge Apple


Hey, future contributor!

In addition to our current Halloween contest (see the image above!) we are now OPEN for general submissions of fiction, poetry, nonfiction, and artwork/photography, with the realization that you won’t receive a decision until 2023.

Reading period for general submissions: January-April

Deadline for Halloween Contest: Oct. 15, 2022 (No entry fee.)

Send your work to: 

hedgeapple@Hagerstowncc.edu 

with the subject "Submission."

What to Submit:

At the Hedge Apple, we believe that literature and artwork are essential parts of humanity. These powerful channels can offer us hope and healing, bring us together, and give voice to the marginalized. They aren’t highbrow pursuits reserved only for intellectuals—literature and art are for everyone. Fresh voices are essential, and we love fledgling artists. We are passionate about helping you find your niche, whether it’s through our feedback or the resources provided on our website, and yes, we want to hear from you veteran crafters too, so please send us your stuff as well. We want to hear what you have to say.

We are looking for mixed media submissions (prose, poetry, art, photography, and videos) of all genres. We are especially drawn to pieces that showcase vulnerability and draw from real life experiences. That does not mean we don’t enjoy comedic takes on life, fantasy epics, and unconventional pieces. We like to uphold the unique, showcase the weird, and embrace the uncomfortable.
