Earth Wind Fire Water

Elements are some of the most powerful forces around us. We are made of them. They recur as character in our lives, as subtext, and as so much more.

Submit a short personal essay, or vignette, that has something to do with one of these elements--it can be about anything, but the element must be an important part of the story. You are welcome to submit creative non-fiction, essay, poemoir, etc.

Unfortunately, this contest has been canceled and absorbed into our annual contest, which has no theme. But we still encourage everyone to write about these topics and enter them.
