Women of Ohio

Dear friends,

A gentle reminder that the Women of Ohio art and poetry competitions will close this coming Wednesday, 4th June.

If you’ve been meaning to submit, now is the time. This competition is a space to uplift stories of women from across Ohio — to celebrate the quiet moments, the bold declarations, the untold stories that shape our lives and landscapes.

🖌️ Open to Ohio-based artists of all genders

💸 Free to enter

🏆 $200 top prize + runner-up awards

🎯 Many mediums welcome for the art subs — painting, drawing, digital art, photography, and more!

Whether your work is bold and abstract or rooted in realism, this is your opportunity to be part of a meaningful celebration of women through art and poetry.

🔗 Submit your work to the Poetry Competition or Art Competition. You’ll find the entry form here.

We welcome work that speaks from the margins, that experiments, that remembers, that resists. Whether you’re a seasoned poet, an artist who knows their medium, or sharing your work for the first time, your voice matters.

Let your poems speak for the places you carry, the people you love, the futures you imagine. Let your art be a window onto the stories of not only famous women but hidden figures who make an impact on you.

With warmth and solidarity,

Zoë Brigley
