Cozy Corner

We all need a space that serves as an escape, even for just a moment. With a little personal decor and TLC, any space—a walk-in closet, a home gym, a DIY patio, or even just a corner bookshelf filled with knick-knacks—can become a reflection of you.

Enter the Cozy Corner Challenge showing us your absolute favorite spot in your house, apartment, backyard, fire escape, or wherever you call home. This could be a plush reading nook, a sleek kitchen countertop, a fort you built for your cat, or even your growing veggies on the balcony—any space that you've transformed into somewhere you're proud of that makes you feel at home. Remember to share photos of your space, and we promise not to invite ourselves over!

For your story to be eligible, it must include original photography and be between 600 and 5,000 words and adhere to our Community Guidelines. Stories published on Vocal and entered into the contest up until January 12, 2021, at 11:59 PM EST will be entered for consideration. Official Rules for the Challenge can be found here.
