Pridefest 2026!

PRIDEFEST

Pridefest is back, and this time we are official again!

That's right, we are now an official yearly event! Isn't that something? For the month of June, we are inviting authors and artists to show off their pride, whether that be by posting fiction, nonfiction, or art — it's entirely up to you! Also happening this month, the Pridefest Team wil be featuring one piece of queer literature posted to the wiki per day. These features will be available on the front page and on this hub.

"There is no pride for some of us without liberation for all of us."

-Marsha P. Johnson

This year's theme for NYC Pride is "For All of Us", inspired by Marsha P. Johnson's quote on pride and what it means to celebrate it. We here at the event organization committee wanted to give you all the prompt of making your writing relevant to the theme. We invite you to take this as liberally as you wish.

HOWEVER, if you just want to write/illustrate a LGBTQIA+ piece or something not related to the theme, that's fine too! As long as it's queer, it's welcome here! Just as you, dear reader, are welcome here, no matter who you are.

So without further ado, let's get to the rules, shall we?
