EDITION VIII: CAMPFIRE STORIES- our five year anniversary!

We are delighted to annnounce the theme of our upcoming eighth edition- CAMPFIRE STORIES.

“So, give me the light of the campfire, warm and bright. And give me some friends to sing with, I’ll be here all night.”

In this edition, we’re looking for stories meant to be re-told. Stories you’d be happy to pass on to others, or have been passed down to you. Things to entrance, to scare, to swoon, to humour… and if all four, all the better!

We’re looking for poetry, prose, commentary, and artwork. All pieces should be comfortably read aloud in about five minutes.

A first for this edition, we’re also looking for Irish-based musical artists to partake in our launch! Please send a sample of two songs (no intricate production necessary, anything you can easily attach to an email will do!).

We will be accepting submissions from 6th June- 8th July. Please read our submission guidelines before submitting.
