    FOR PARENTS: We are experimenting with flexible offerings to best serve you and your unique needs. Email us your thoughts and considerations and we will do our best to accommodate you. Unfortunately at this time we cannot accept children or pets. As funding allows, we do our best to provide a stipend to offset travel/childcare as possible.

    We have an annual award for a parent/writer in partnership with Pen Parentis that comes with a small stipend and annual membership with Pen Parentis.

Apply

Selection

We invite jurors who are practicing professionals as well as alumni; juries generally rotate annually. Therefore, should you plan to apply for both March and October, your work will be seen by the same jury.

We use a BLIND jury process -- works are judged solely on merit and assigned numbers for clarity -- all/any identifying information should be removed from your submission work statement and work sample.  

Collaboratives
(2 Residents)

Each prospective resident should submit an individual application and also make note of your collaborator’s name in your submission in your CONTACT INFORMATION.

Please submit Work Samples from multiple members of the collective, along with biographical information that includes the history of the collective including prior works and/or professional accomplishments.
