CALLING ALL WRITERS AND POETS!
Gulf Coast Writers Association 2016 Writing Contest
FOR BEST FICTION, NONFICTION, CHILDREN’S AND POETRY
September 1 through December 1, 2015
CASH AWARDS IN EACH CATEGORY
Once again, the Gulf Coast Writers Association takes great pleasure in encouraging writers from Southwest Florida to enter the Gulf Writers Association Writing Contest. Original works of fiction, nonfiction, children and poetry will be awarded prizes of 100, 50 and 25 dollars for first, second and third place in each category. The contest is open to members and non-members.
Fiction, nonfiction and children’s works must be no more than 1500 words. Poetry is limited to 40 lines or less.
The contest will be open for submissions on September 1, 2015 and deadline for submissions is December 1, 2015. Winners must be present to receive their awards at the February 20, 2016 meeting.
The contest will help GCWA fulfill its goal of assisting Southwest Florida writers to stimulate and improve their skills. GCWA expects a high level of contest participation.
Does the writing have to be a completed story or can you submit a chapter of a project you are working on?
Sorry I didn’t see this sooner. We don’t really have anyone chatting on here. Best to come to a meeting and speak with us there, or you can email directly to one of the board members any time.
