The Shelter
Submission Deadline: June 15, 2026
Showcase Your Artistic Brilliance
A shelter is more than just a roof over our heads; it is anything that provides warmth, safety, and a sense of belonging. It is the place where we feel most protected from the “storms” of life—whether those storms are literal rain or the difficult days we all face.
