Contest Deadline Extended! Submit by Nov. 15!

The Liar is an annual anthology edited by Capilano University students. Living in the rupture between the personal and the political, our editors publish provocative, powerful collections of fiction, poetry, art, drama and more that explore the intersectional complexities of our world.

Our 2025 issue will be organized around the theme of METAMORPHOSES.

CapU students should submit their Writing and Art to our contests, where the winners will receive a $500 cash prize generously provided by the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. 

Students working in other media, or with other themes, can submit their work under General Submissions. We also welcome work from community members from across the Lower Mainland/Vancouver – the unceded territory of the Coast Salish First Nations – in this category.

Submissions will open on October 7 and remain open until the November 15 deadline. All submitters should receive a response about their work by late January 2025.

We look forward to seeing your work!
