Contests & Creative Opportunties

The Well proudly supports the following
contests and publication opportunities for Christian authors.

Wellspring Anthology

Here is a great opportunity to be a published writer! The Well Publishers is offering all conference attendees the opportunity to submit a piece on the theme of the 2026 Well Conference, Wellspring. Being published always feels so good, plus it looks good on your writing résumé.

This is also great training for writers, as The Well Publishers will edit your submission and communicate the edit to you before publication, so that you can ask any questions.

Writers chosen will be honored with a certificate at the awards ceremony at The Well Conference 2026.

Oasis Awards

Winners and finalists of the 2026 Oasis Awards will be honored at The Well Conference, where the winners of each category will be announced. The first-place winners will be awarded $500 towards their publishing needs with The Well Publishers. It’s another way we can help in the publishing process. The Well Publishers will meet with you for a consultation to answer your questions and best meet your publishing needs.

The Oasis Awards submissions are accepted on June 1 – March 15.
