Gualala Arts Poetry Contest Offers $1000 in Prizes |
|
In its second annual competition for original, unpublished creative
writing, Gualala Arts, with co-sponsorship of the Rotary Club and The Sea
Ranch Foundation, is offering $1,000 in prize money for the best poems
submitted by full- or part-time Redwood Coast residents from Elk to Timber
Cove. This contest is open to poets previously unpublished in a book or
national periodical (local and school publications okay.) In each of two entry divisions, Adult and Youth (under
18), winners will receive a First Prize of $250 and publication in The
Redwood Coast Review. Second and third place poets in each category
will receive $150 and $100, respectively. All winners will be announced
and invited to read their poems at the Awards Ceremony October 4 at
Gualala Arts Center. Entry forms are available
on-line, at
Gualala Arts, the Dolphin Gallery in Gualala, and Coast Community Library
in Point Arena. The deadline for entries is August 31. The success of last year's short story contest inspired
the organizers to sponsor another creative writing competition this year
in a different genre. Eligible poets are encouraged to prepare up to three
of their best poems for entry. There is no entry fee. For more information contact Gualala Arts at 884-1138. |
