In case you haven’t already heard, the 2014 Annual Writing and Art Contest is accepting submissions now through the end of the year (December 31, 2014). If you have a poem, creative nonfiction, or fiction piece you have been working on, we want to hear from you. If you are an LDS artist looking for more exposure for your work, send it our way. For some inspiration, check out last year’s winners in the March 2014 online journal. Keep on reading if you’d like some answers to common questions:

What type of writing or art can I submit to the contest?

Who can submit?
