The Willow Creek Journal is a community-centered annual anthology. Through the journal, we celebrate and nurture the creativity of artists of all ages.
We believe in the power of local journals celebrating a breadth of creativity, and we invite you to join us as we continue to foster, cultivate and support both our established and new contributors. We welcome you to join us in a re-energized and reinvigorated vision. We prioritize the writer and artist with a relationship to our immediate community of Creede, but good art and writing in a variety of genres and perspectives is welcome from anyone. In other words, no matter your angle, school or form, please feel welcome to submit if you have a common ground with our mission.
The Call for Entry for the 30th edition of the Willow Creek Journal is now open. We will be accepting submissions until March 1, 2026. New this year is an alternative, streamlined submission method that combines the entry form and electronic submission. Click HERE for the Google form. Or download the fillable PDF form on the right of this page.
We are always happy to help you with your submission. Just email us at
Please reach out to the Creede Arts Council if you would like a copy of last year's Journal.
