Support Geist

Calling all writers and wordsmiths—we are now accepting submissions for The 17th Annual Geist Literal Literary Postcard Story Contest!

How it works: 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.

Deadline: April 15, 2021.

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.
