MORE WINNERS THAN ANY OTHER LITERARY CONTEST!
Welcome to the Geist Literal Literary Postcard Story Contest, the writing contest whose name is almost as long as the entries!

Send us a postcard along with a story that relates to the image. The relationship can be as tangential as you like, so long as there is some clear connection to the image or place.
Maximum length: 500 words, fiction or non-fiction.
Winning entries will be published in Geist and at geist.com.
Honourable mentions will be published at geist.com.
Selected stories will be posted at thetyee.ca.
Type your literal postcard story on standard paper, in at least 11-point type, and attach the postcard with a paper clip (no staples, please). Judging is blind, so do not write your name on the story or the card. Include a cover letter showing your:
- Name
- Story title(s)
- Address
- Phone number
- Email address
(Your personal information is confidential and will be used by Geist only to contact you.)
Entry Fee: $20 for the first entry (includes 1-year subscription or subscription extension), $5 for each additional entry.
Send your entry with a cheque for the entry fee to:
