Once again, LEO devotes its pages to the city’s most talented writers and photographers. We’ve held our annual Literary LEO contest for more than two decades now, and each year it’s refreshing to observe the depth and scope of all the submitted entries.
LEO believes in the written word and the power of photography, and we celebrate and thank everyone who entered. We’d also like to thank the judges, who had to pore over each poem, each short story and each photograph to select the very best.
We are honoring the winners tonight at Spalding University’s Egan Leadership Center, where they will read their poems and flash fiction, short fiction and “something different” pieces. The winning black-and-white and color photographs will also be on display. The event occurs from 5:30-9 p.m. and is free and open to everyone. We hope you join us in honoring Louisville’s best. —Sara Havens, editor
