What is your family’s version of a “Lime Jell-O Marshmello Cottage Cheese Surprise”? Did you ever sing a song about it? We’re dying to hear about it!
In anticipation of the holiday season, BGS wants to read your food and music stories, writings, and traditions! We welcome fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and hybrid-form writing (perhaps a recipe with music?) of up to 1,000 words focusing on the crossroads of food and music. Please ensure that your writing incorporates both of these topics in some small way, not either/or (i.e. not just a recipe).
Selected entries will be published in our new, periodical BGS creative writing collection. See our first scary-season-themed collection and its selections here. Selected writers will receive free BGS merchandise and will be invited to present their work on the BGS website and social media. In addition, BGS will retain no rights to your work and creators are welcome to publish elsewhere or on their own channels.
Submissions will close at 50 entries, so make sure to send in your work ASAP!
Deadline: November 24, 2025 at midnight PDT.
How to submit: Please fill out this Google Form and attach your work as a Word file (.docx).
