The Ekphrastic Poetry Challenge presented by Meraki Review and Raj Journals invites artists and writers to explore the dynamic relationship between words and visual art. In this contest, poets will craft a poem based on one of five paintings we will provide. You may draw inspiration from the painting's imagery, delve into its underlying themes, or even tell a story about the artist or the moment captured.
Your interpretation can be personal, symbolic, or narrative—anything that speaks to you through the visual art. The top prize winner will secure a publication in the debut issue of Meraki Review, and all winners will be featured on our Instagram accounts. Let your creativity flow as you fuse words with art. The link to submit is in our linktrees!
