Waterston Desert Writing Prize celebrates the High Desert

CELEBRATE THE HIGH DESERT Calling all emerging, mid-career and established nonfiction writers! The High Desert Museum is officially accepting submissions for the 2022 Waterston Desert Writing Prize. The Prize, in its eighth year, honors creative nonfiction that illustrates artistic excellence, sensitivity to place and desert literacy, with the desert as both subject and setting. Located in Bend, Oregon, the High Desert Museum brings together wildlife, cultures, art, history and the natural world to convey the wonder of the High Desert. We look forward to continuing the exploration of desert landscapes and creating conversations about the issues affecting them. The submission deadline is May 1, 2022. The Prize winner will receive a $3,000 cash award, a residency at PLAYA at Summer Lake, Oregon and a reading and reception right here at the Museum! 2022 Waterston Prize Do you know a young writer who shares our passion for desert landscapes?
