Short Story Contest - Winter Issue

in medias res is running another short story contest for USask Students this term! If you have already submitted work to the magazine through the regular submission process, you are still eligible to submit work to the contests! 

The deadline is February 10, 2026. The grand prize for both contests is a $20 gift card and publication in the Winter Issue, “Ekphrasis.” Runners-up will also have their work published in the Winter Issue.

Winter submissions are open until January 25, 2026

Please consider submitting your work (visual art, poetry, fiction, or nonfiction) to our magazine for publication. We are especially looking for pieces relevant to our theme “Ekphrasis,” but we will consider works that are not related to our theme.
