The 2007 Annual Review will feature fiction in a variety of categories from the winners of the Momaya Short Story Competition and winners of Momaya Awards, as well as a stunning collection of photographs, poems and short stories exploring "Transformation". (3) Spread the world - the 2007 Momaya Short Story Competition is open. This year's theme is Transformation. We've all experienced it at some time, whether we wanted to or not: Life is change. The universe is in constant flux. This year's theme examines change and transformation on all levels, all planes. Transformation can be subtle or obvious, exhilarating or sad. It may come upon us suddenly, or so quietly we don't notice what has transpired until the moment is past. Think Kafka's "Metamorphoses," Gogol's "The Nose," Vonnegut's "Galapagos." Or on a simpler level: childbirth, divorce, growing up, death, or even simpler, a haircut. A moment when our definitions change, when we transcend ourselves and emerge as someone new: "As good As It Gets," "Steel Magnolias," "Bend It Like Beckham."
