Artists and writers have been depicting and interpreting Mississippi for more than 200 years, even before the territory became a state in 1817. As we commemorate the state’s bicentennial in 2017, you’re invited to “envision” Mississippi, not in the distant past, but in the far-away future.

Submissions may be composed of any combination of writing, illustration, photography, or imagery in a variety of media responding to the prompt

Open to the public. Free to participate.
