AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

from Franklin Furnace

IHRAF Publishes
announces
Creators of Justice Literary Award
THERE IS NO ENTRY FEE FOR PARTICIPATION.
Deadline: June 1, 2020

Please send submissions to: ihrafpublishes@gmail.com with the subject line: “Creators of Justice Literary Award”

The International Human Rights Art Festival announces the creation of this new literary award, celebrating poetry, short stories and essays which use the written word to celebrate justice.

This ideal may be imagined in any manner in which the writer sees fit, however, it must be based in our signature values of beauty, sincerity, vulnerability and engagement. We do not publish work or engage with artists whose work is based in anger, or stems from an “us v. them” mentality. We feel strongly that all human conflict is representative of human spiritual immaturity — and no group of people, ethnicity or religion are immune from human spiritual immaturity.

There are three monetary prizes in each category: Poetry, Short Story and Essay. Each writer may make one submission in each category (total of 3 submission per writer). Awards are as follows:

First Prize: $150

Second Prize: $100

Third Prize: $50

Honorable Mention: 5 writers will have their work published on IHRAF Publishes during the 2020 year.

All winners and honorable mention writers will be considered for our IHRAF Publishes Anthology 2019-2020, which will be collected and published in summer 2021.

Hope you are staying safe in these dark times!
