MARCH: PURPLE THEME - This month, we want you to write about the color purple. Art and photography should also depict that regal color. Deadline: Postmark Saturday.

Take time to observe the shadows in your world and send your creative impressions in the form of art, photos, prose or poetry. Deadline: Postmark April 6.

MAY: OPEN THEME - Send in your creative works on the topic of your choice. Deadline: Postmark May 6.
