With support from the City of Beaverton Arts Program, Lucky Jefferson is collecting submissions from Beaverton, Oregon residents (and other neighboring Oregon residents or visitors to Beaverton), that highlight the uniqueness of the Beaverton community!
Help us celebrate Beaverton through stimulating conversations around local businesses, landmarks, art, and other subjects critical to the development of the community, history, and shifting diversity of residents.
Included submissions will be compiled to produce a print and digital community anthology.
All forms of poetry, flash fiction, creative nonfiction, art and other experimental genres will be accepted.
