Submissions are now open for the 2026 Southern Screen Festival Writing Challenge!

2026 theme: “Hubris”
Literature is filled with classic tales of hubris— Icarus, Captain Ahab, Lucifer. Evidence of hubris abounds in contemporary everyday life too, on a large scale with The OceanGate Titan Submersible, or a small one like a person pushing limits past heeded warnings at their own peril, or that of someone else. What character or event in your story leads to downfall due to maybe an abundance of pride, confidence, or a disregard for warnings?

The prize recipient will receive:
- $150 cash prize
- Published in Louisiana Literature Magazine and The Current
- Southern Screen Festival Pass and VIP Wristband
- Story read aloud at the Festival

More info - www.southernscreen.org/writing-challenge

GOOD TIME HARD-LOVING CAJUN MAN — ENCORE SCREENING! 🎶

Missed the premiere at the Southern Screen Festival? Now’s your chance to catch the feature-length documentary celebrating the life and career of TK Hulin, the legendary “King” of Swamp Pop.

Hulin lit up nightclubs across East Texas and South Louisiana, building a devoted cult following that still reveres him today. A Swamp Pop and Mercury Records rock star, he chased Elvis up the charts while carving out his place in the Gulf Coast dancehall empire.
