PORT ANGELES — Tidepools Magazine is accepting submissions for its 2026 edition until midnight Jan. 9.

Peninsula College’s annual literary and arts magazine publishes original artwork, photography, poetry, short stories and music from residents of Clallam and Jefferson counties.

First-place winners in each category will receive cash prizes and guaranteed publication in the magazine, which is planned for June.
