Submissions for our 2025 Issue are now closed. 

This year, we invite writers and artists to explore the theme of COLOUR in all its complexity. Colour is everywhere, and we want to see how you interpret and express it in your work. We welcome submissions from Canadian writers in various genres, including poetry, short fiction, creative nonfiction/reviews, and visual art. We are also excited to share that this year, we will offer a $100 cash prize for the best submission. So don’t be shy – send us your best work! 

Submission Deadline: April 30th, 2025 

Reading Period: May 1st – June 30th 2025

We can’t wait to see what colour means to you. 🌈✨

Sincerely, 

Jenna Miller
