Final Day to Submit to Sinclair Community College Writing Contest

Sinclair Community College and Antioch Writers' Workshop have teamed up to offer a writing contest with winning prizes that include tuition to the week long 2013 Summer Antioch Writers Workshop. Entries must be postmarked or entered here on Submittable by March 1, 2013.

Eligibility: Open to those writers who have received no payment for published manuscripts in the category they are entering (payment includes free copies of journals in which their work has appeared). Previous first and second place winners are ineligible to enter categories in which they have won. They may, however, enter other categories. Sinclair faculty, staff and spouses are
ineligible.

Winners: The winning entry in each category will receive $60. Second place in each category will receive $30. Third place in each category will receive $20. The above winners along with those receiving honorable mention will receive certificates suitable for framing. Contest winners will be presented awards during a March ceremony at Sinclair Community College. Winners need not be present; awards will be mailed. A final award to the winner of all categories will be made on behalf of the Antioch Writers' Workshop and includes a full tuition waiver to their week long workshop July 6-13 2013. Other first place winners will receive a scholarship to the Saturday AWW or may use their partial scholarship toward the full week. Check it out at:  http://www.antiochwritersworkshop.com/
