Rising Phoenix Award

The Rising Phoenix Award was established in Spring 2003 with the re-launch of the journal and has continued to be offered every Spring.  It spotlights the best visual arts, fiction, non-fiction and poetry works of the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay community.  Judges are selected from the Wisconsin arts communities recommended by UW-Green Bay faculty, staff and students.  Our judges have extraordinary credentials in the field of arts, graphics or writing and their astute comments help drive Sheepshead Review’s mission by helping students recognize their talent while encouraging them to pursue quality creative expression.  The selected winner of the visual arts Rising Phoenix Award showcases his/her chosen work on the cover, as well as a spread of at least two pages of his/her other art/profile pieces in the journal. The chosen writing pieces are featured throughout the journal. All winners’ pieces are paired with esteemed comments from the judges, published alongside the piece.
