There are no genres in this contest. We want to hear your stories that need to be told, whether that’s an essay, short story, or poem–it just has to tell a story. One grand prize winner wins $1000 and five category winners will each win $200 (categories are Love, Depth, Humor, and Passion plus a new “Surprise Me” category this year). Winners and 20-25 honorable mentions will be published in the 2017 Stories That Need to Be Told anthology. The 2016 anthology was a finalist for the Colorado Book Award. Deadline: September 16th.
