Where do dreams come from? Do nightmares stem from the same root source? What can be considered a dream or a nightmare? How do they figure in our lives, and how do we write about them poetically? Whether psychic or psychological, send us poems that speak to the theme of dreams & nightmares! Deadline: December 1, 2022. Details about the Vallum Art Prize (formerly known as the Vallum Cover Award) are available here.

Deadline: December 1, 2022
