Calling all writers and wordsmiths—we are now accepting submissions for
The Geist Short Long-Distance Writing Contest!

How it works: Send us a story, 500 words or less, fiction or non-fiction, that spans two or more Canadian time zones. This could mean a physical transition across time zones (like a road trip), or an implied transition between them (like a phone call). The details are up to you—get creative!

Deadline: October 31st, 2020.

Winning entries get cash prizes and publication in Geist!

Get all the contest details and submit here.
