Current Contest

Fantastic Mischief

Show us your rangers in taverns, your whimsical narrators, and your mischievous bards! We are looking for anything fantasy: magical battles, winged creatures, cozy wizards, whatever suits your fancy. Whether in poetry or prose, the Fantastic Mischief Contest winner and finalists will relay imagery in rich, vivid language.

The Fantastic Mischief Contest is accepting submissions until August 30th.

Featured work will be published in the online magazine and in a Four Tulips print issue.
