Over 540...that's how many submissions we've received since our Submittable went live in the middle of March. We feel very popular. 😎 That being said, we're going to take a couple months off to catch up on reading. Submittable is still open until June 30th, so if you have work you want to sent in before our summer break, you have a bit of time! We will still be accepting snail mail and contest submissions via email during our break. Happy summer! 🧉🌞🌸
