The 14th Annual Geist Literal Literary Postcard Story Contest is now open!

Calling all writers and wordsmiths—we are now accepting submissions for the The 14th Annual Geist Literal Literary Postcard Story Contest!

The rules: Send us a story and a postcard—the relationship can be as strong or as tangential as you like, so long as there is a clear connection between the story and the image. The story can be fiction or non-fiction; the maximum length is 500 words.

Deadline: January 15, 2018. All winning entries get cash prizes and publication in Geist, so dig through your drawers and find a postcard that inspires the micro-lit writer in you.

Get all the contest details and submit here.
