Segullah Literary Journal is pleased to announce the winners of our 2025 Writing and Art Contest. The prizes for this year’s contest were donated by a small group of Segullah supporters who value literature and art created by women of our faith.
These winners met our continuing mission of provoking thought and greater understanding and faith among Latter-day Saint women, and showed particular artistry and mastery of their craft. The prize-winning art and literature supports our goal of highlighting a variety of women’s perspectives within a framework of shared beliefs and values. We look forward to sharing these entries in the next issue of Segullah, to be published in May 2025.
