The publisher of Crooked Creek and sponsor of this contest, Torrey House Press, seeks to add to the appreciation of the Colorado Plateau and the American West through the power of pen and story in the books they publish. Here in this contest, they hope to add the power of image. Water in the desert is always an amazing, rare and gratifying sight. They are eager to see how you portray the paradox.
