Tidepools open to submissions

Published 1:30 am Wednesday, December 8, 2021

Publishers of Tidepools Magazine have celebrated creators coming together on the North Olympic Peninsula for nearly 60 years, and are once again seeking submissions to the annual art, writing and music contest for the 58th issue.

Clallam and Jefferson county residents of all ages and skills may enter their original works in art, photography, poetry, prose and music genres for a chance to win cash, publication and recognition.

Peninsula College students can enter the contest for free this year, while local youth pay $5 for each entry, and adults pay $7.50. Entry fees make it possible to award winners cash prizes, but for those interested in having their work considered for publication but prefer not to enter the contest, non-contest entries accepted at no cost.

The submission deadline is Sunday, Jan. 16. Contest winners will be announced Friday, March 11.

All contributors in this year’s issue are invited to share their work at the release party and awards ceremony set to take place in early June 2022, when the magazine is slated for publication.

For more about the publication or contest, email Deirdre Frank at dfrank@pencol.edu.
