ZO is a community of artists with a growing vision. We have several EXPOs each year that receive submissions of poetry, art, literature, music, photography, and other creative input. 

Our DECENNALIA EXPO is now in progress. Submit to one or all three below.

Each Expo has a "Free First Entry." We award winners with publication and an honorarium for each. Anyone over the age of 13 may enter most of our Expos. Our mission is to build respect between people, cultures, and creative disciplines while working to promote peace through the arts.

Full Parameters for our Creative Expos can be found at this link.

This Year’s Theme for Poetry is: TEN YEARS!

Craft it — Write it — Edit it  

ZO Magazine started with a Poetry Expo in 2014 and we agree and identify with W. Somerset Maugham's quote: “The crown of literature is poetry.”

Using "Ten Years" or "10 Years" anywhere in your poem — spur us to new thoughts, heights, depths, or other emotions and ponderings through your words!

Once we receive the first 25 submissions, we will start awarding 2 winners per month. First Place and Second Place. Each winner will be published and receive a $50 Honorarium. First Place winners are also eligible for a one-year ZO Gold Level City Curator Page (Award Value $240). 

*Any work published will be listed with a Byline of its creator's name.
