Chance to Win Valuable Prizes at the Creators of Justice Literary Award

The International Human Rights Art Festival (IHRAF) announced its new literary award, celebrating poetry, short stories (up to 2500 words), and essays that use the written word to celebrate justice. 

There are three monetary prizes in each category: Poetry, Short Story and Essay. Each writer may make one submission in each category (a total of 3 submissions per writer). Awards are as follows:

• First Prize: $150
• Second Prize: $100 
• Third Prize: $50
• Honorable Mention: 5 writers will have their work published on IHRAF Publishes

Submissions may include poetry, short stories (up to 2500 words), and essays that use the written word to celebrate justice. Applicants may offer one submission in each category.

This ideal submission may be imagined in any manner in which the writer sees fit, however, it must be based on IHRAF signature values of beauty, sincerity, vulnerability, and engagement. IHRAF does not publish work or engage with artists whose work is based on anger, or stems from an “us v. them” mentality. IHRAF feels strongly that all human conflict is representative of human spiritual immaturity — and no group of people, ethnicity, or religion are immune from human spiritual immaturity. 

About IHRAF:

The International Human Rights Art Festival (IHRAF) was founded by artist/activist Tom Block on the belief that art can open hearts and minds, and heal the wounds that are evident in our society. Through beauty, sincerity, and passion, IHRAF dissolves the boundaries between artists. As artists, they engage in open-hearted creativity and discourse with politicians, social leaders, and others.
