CALL FOR ENTRIES
(no entry fee!)

Everyone whose life has been touched by cancer is encouraged to submit artwork, writing, or a performance piece. Whether you are recently diagnosed, currently in treatment or years out, you are a survivor. And, whether you are a family member, friend, or medical professional, you are a caregiver. We invite you to share your journey through this project.
For those who may not have ever created anything artistic before, we welcome you to express yourself in any way that you can.
