This month's contest will be hosted by Jen!

DCW's social event for December is--or was, depending on when you're reading this--a trip to Winterfair ([RSVP here](https://4142298.xyz/dublin-creative-writers/events/303567721/)), a fine arts, craft, and gourmet goods fair featuring more than 350 artists and vendors. For this month's contest, write a microfiction story inspired by an item found at the fair. If you can't visit Winterfair in person, you can browse the art studio sale items found on their site ([2024](https://winterfair.org/art-studio-clearance-sale-directory-2024/), [2023](https://winterfair.org/art-studio-clearance-sale-2/art-studio-clearance-sale-2023-artist-directory/)). That's where I found the image for this event--a painting by Columbus artist, Eric Fortune.\*

Theme: Winterfair

Length: 250 words or less

Submissions due: 11:59 p.m. ET on December 17th.

To submit your entry, email it to info@dublincreativewriters.com. **Your entry should include a photo of or link to the item that inspired your story.** Please make sure your name isn't anywhere in your document!

Join the contest session on Thursday, December 19th, to hear Jen's feedback on each piece and learn who won. The winning piece has the option to be featured on our website!
