Check out our installments of the Eagle Mountain Arts Alliance Anthologies! Each year we host a writing conference in the fall, and hold a writing and illustration contest that features the theme of the workshop. On top of other fun prizes, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners in each category are featured in an anthology for both writing and illustrating. We're so proud of each of our winners! Make sure to watch for next year's contest theme!
