Artwork Call for Submissions
Snow in August

Nov 15, 2021 Submission Deadline

We are launching a Rehoboth Beach Writers Guild project challenging writers to further their skills in fiction writing in general, and character development in particular. We are soliciting artwork that will accompany published writings.

Theme Snow in August
This project asks writers to create fictional stories or poems around the idea of what it would mean to see snow falling on our Delaware beaches/marshes/bays in August. Is it literal? Metaphorical? An omen or a miracle? Perhaps magic? Does it happen everywhere? Is it something everyone can see? We are suggesting to writers that plot isn’t so much about events as it is about a character’s response to events.

Artwork We are requesting artwork submissions to use with our members’ writings. We are not necessarily looking for literal works depicting snow. We are looking for artwork that in itself is intriguing to viewers—based on the theme—impelling them to dive into the written words. 

Publication We have not finalized our publication plans yet, but anticipate publication in early 2022. This may be online or book format. We may also have an in-person event with select readings/artwork.
​
Selected Artwork Artists will be notified of their selection for this project by Nov 30.
