Transcendence welcomes a vast variety of work, including (but not limited to):

• Poetry

• Short stories

• Creative nonfiction

• Artwork (drawing, painting, digital, etc.)

• Photography

Work should ponder, reflect, or express the transcendentals (truth, beauty, and goodness) in some way, and/or connect the transcendentals to the Divine. Submissions do not have to be explicitly religious (but they can be). The overarching goal of Transcendence is to creatively express how God can be found in all things. Any work or medium that meditates on truth, beauty, goodness, or God will be considered.

We ask that files be submitted as a Word or Google doc, or as a JPG image. Please limit yourself to no more than five submissions.
