Dreamers Creative Writing — Dreamers Writing Contest: Stories of Migration, Sense of Place and

Overview
Dreamers Creative Writing, an organization whose name carries a distinct origin, here reorients the term 'Dreamers' toward the global discourse on migration. The contest seeks work that engages with migration, sense of place, and the presence or absence of home, while also attending to the empathy demanded by the plight of migrants worldwide. The theme is deliberately open to personal interpretation, provided the work remains anchored in the overarching commitment to heartfelt stories. This is not a call for polemic or reportage, but for narrative and poetic craft that renders the human texture of displacement and belonging. The contest accepts a single piece per entry across multiple genres: fiction, poetry, essay, and comics. There is no restriction on the number of entries, though each piece requires its own $20 USD entry fee. The fee includes a one-year electronic subscription to Dreamers Magazine, positioning the contest as both a competition and an introduction to the publication's readership. The contest is open to entrants worldwide, and explicitly does not require the writer to be a migrant; what is required is an empathetic engagement with the theme and a story that earns its emotional weight. While no cash prize is specified in the provided materials, the contest's value lies in its editorial focus and the subscription-based connection to a magazine dedicated to heartfelt storytelling. The absence of a stated prize should not be read as a lack of seriousness; rather, it places the emphasis on the act of writing into a curated thematic conversation. The deadline is February 1, 2027, and the entry fee is $20.00 USD (approximately $25 CAD).
