We’re challenging you to create stories of up to 1,000 words based on the artwork of Edward Hopper. We want stories that play in the shadows, that aren’t afraid to show us the forgotten worlds, both real and imaginary. Take these scenes to new heights with precise language and unique characters. Create something amazingly weird and poignant.
Follow the link in our bio to submit to the 2026 Ekphrastic Hopper Challenge by Sunday, May 10, at 11:59 PM PDT!
