In our third year our particular focus is on unlocking landscapes, big and small.

Open Mountain as a project is focused on connection with wild places, and on redefining mountain literatures and cultures to include voices and experiences often excluded or invalidated.

Submissions are invited from anyone who feels their voices and experiences are not currently reflected in mountain and outdoor literature, including Black writers, Indigenous writers, writers from ethnic, cultural and religious minorities, disabled writers, LGBTQ+ writers and low-income and working-class writers.

This competition is now closed.
