Quabbin Quills is proud to present its annual Student Writing Contest and Scholarship.
Students (High School or College) who enter will be considered for the grand prize as well as publication in our upcoming literary collection.
This submission page is for the student scholarship only. If you are not currently a student, please submit to our general submission form.
A green sea extends far into the horizon. Grassy knolls bob and weave through the fields. A lone tree rests idly to provide a shady repost for animals and men alike. The land that appears to be open and free is bordered by ancient stones—a property line that can easily be stepped over.
When you think of these words, what comes to mind? For Quabbin Quills Anthology Volume VIII: Rock Walls and Open Pastures, please select any material that you believe best represents this phrase.
Reflect on the vast plains that seem to go on forever or rocky borders that mark our properties with an untamed Mother Nature.
Become a part of Quabbin Quills’ rich history by submitting your best fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and black and white photography today!
