Writers, start your laptops … it’s contest time again.
The Royal City Literary Arts Society has opened its Write On! contest for 2019. Submissions will be accepted up until April 1.
The annual contest includes three categories: fiction, non-fiction and poetry. Fiction and non-fiction submissions must be a maximum of 1,500 words, while poetry is one single-spaced page at most.
Cash prizes of $150, $100 and $75 will be awarded to the top three entries in each category, and three honourable mentions will also be awarded. All winners and honourable mentions will be published in the society’s e-zine, Wordplay at Work.
Fees are $10 per submission for members, or $20 per submission for non-members (an annual membership is $35 a year).
The contest accepts a maximum of three submissions per person, combined, over all three categories. Previously published work is allowed as long as the author retains copyright.
Submissions to judges are anonymous; include a cover letter with name, address, email, phone number, category, title and payment option. You can choose to pay via Paypal at www.rclas.com, or you can mail a cheque or money order to Royal City Literary Arts Society, Box 308, 720 Sixth St., New Westminster. Submissions and cover letters are emailed to [email protected], regardless of payment method.
