Flash Fiction & Poetry Workshop
Homer is a nonprofit organization created to expose more students to the humanities. The first step? Engagement. Through our monthly, short-form competition, we aim to draw more students to the humanities. Thus, to accommodate for varying skillsets, our competitions allow submissions to be in a multitude of different mediums, not just writing! See our guidelines for more information.
A humanistic education is key to understanding the nuanced aspects of the arts. Don’t just trust our word. Try it out for yourself! Our competitions are designed to be low-commitment and low-risk. In the process, you might just get published if you win!

“Wise to resolve, and patient to perform.” — Homer
An eloquent poet, a pioneer of literature, a classical historian, a trailblazing philosopher, a wandering bard. Alone, any of these descriptions would be impressive. Together, they describe the Greek poet, Homer. Homer authored the Iliad and the Odyssey, and is widely regarded as the greatest poet of the ancient world. His influence on the humanities reaches beyond literature and philosophy into music, film, and art.
