These are one-shot submissions and should stand on their own, without reference to previously published material. We try not to accept more than one or two columns a year from any individual writer. About half of the guest commentaries selected are issue advocacy and half are personal experience. Subjects of local and regional relevance are strongly preferred. Writers whose commentaries are selected for publication will be asked to provide a photograph to accompany their column.
Voices is designed to showcase the variety and vitality that characterize Colorado.
Voices columnists have included residents of the Four Corners region, the high country, the Eastern Plains, the metro suburbs and inner-city Denver. We've even had one Colorado Voice from Wyoming. Each Voices columnist will serve for three months, writing one column every other week. Voices columns appear on Fridays and Sundays. If being a Colorado Voice would interest you, please watch the editorial pages in February for the announcement that the selection process is under way.
