Heart of the Valley Submission Guidelines
CONTEST THEME
This year we are asking you to describe the ways in which the waters of the Valley awe, inspire, and nurture you. Whether you like to be on the water or in it, viewing it from a distance or just as far as the end of your fishing rod, we can all agree that the Wood River Valley’s most valuable asset is the water that flows through it.
Please send us your photography, prose, and poetry that illustrate how the local waters make living in the Wood River Valley different than it would be anywhere else; describe the rivers, streams, or lakes, that drew you here in the first place or those that keep you here year after year.
