Our judges had the best and toughest time determining the winners of the Tiny Tales Competition. We received dozens of submissions, spanning moods and epochs. We laughed. We wept. We were made more brave.
From the submssions, we identified fifteen finalists. These authors brandished rifles, poems, and blunt self-reflection as tools in their manuscripts. They embodied the essence of the Juneteenth holiday, and we are so priveleged to honor them. Congratulations to all our finalists!
