The first is an annual poetry contest for writers over 50; the second is an open issue for writers of all ages, featuring poetry, fiction, and memoir.

Passager Poetry Contest

New Feature: Pass It On
We've decided to experiment with a new addition to Passager, which we are calling "Pass It On." In this section of the journal, we will publish your informal writing on a given topic. Our first top[ic is "Waking in the Night." Tell us your personal experiences—stories, thoughts, musings, anecdotes. Let us hear your voice.
We will try to publish as many as we can. Because of space limitations, we will most likely have to edit your work, but we will send it to you for your approval before we publish it. We won't be able to return entries we aren't going to publish, so please don't send us your only copy.
We're accepting electronic submissions for this part of the journal only. You can also submit your work through the regular mail.
