TIDEPOOLS MAGAZINE ANNOUNCES 2021 WINNERS

PORT ANGELES, WA. – Tidepools Magazine is pleased to announce the winners of the 2021 art and writing contest.  Thank you to all who were fearless enough to contribute your creative works. We received so many quality submissions, we wish we had space to publish them all. Our editors are still reviewing submissions for inclusion in the 2021 issue, so if your entry isn’t listed below, it may still be selected for publication.

Our editors would like to extend special thanks to our teams of judges who are made up of local artists, writers, photographers, musicians, and educators from the community and who volunteered their time to collaborate and select our winners. 

The newest issue is slated for release in May and will be available in local bookstores across the Peninsula. We’re excited about the possibility of holding an in-person awards ceremony this June—details are forthcoming.
