Above Water 2022 is now open for submissions!

You’re trapped just a few inches below the surface, and it refuses to break for you. It resists the pull of your body, the lunge upward from the sea floor. But you’re entranced by the bright lights that snap and scatter like loose beads inside the swell of each wave. 

Every night, each of your dreams ends with a vision of the sea-roof shattering, cutting short your rest. In that infinitesimal space between sleeping and waking, what can you see? Taste? Feel?

Above Water is the annual creative writing and art competition hosted by the Creative Arts and Media Departments. Shortlisted submissions will be published within the print and online anthologies, with prizes for winners in the writing, visual art and multimedia categories.
