Call for Entries in 2010 Hub City Prizes
The Hub City Writers Project will award the Hub City Prizes again in March 2010 for excellence in creative writing among Spartanburg County adults. Prizes will be awarded for poetry and fiction. Entries must be emailed or postmarked by Feb. 15. Winners each will receive a full, $500 scholarship to the Wildacres Writers Workshop, a week-long creative writing summer school in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Second- and third-place winners receive full or partial scholarships to Hub City’s “Writing in Place” summer workshop at Wofford College.

The contest is open to all Spartanburg County residents 18 years or older. Entrants may submit manuscripts in both genres. In the poetry category, they should submit three poems. In fiction, they should submit one story of no more than 10 pages, double-spaced. Previous winners may not submit in the year following their award. For the first time we are accepting digital entries emailed here.

Each entry must be typed with letter-quality printing in a standard 12-point typeface. Each writer should include a title page with his or her name and address. The author's name should not appear anywhere else on the manuscript. For the first time we are accepting digital entries emailed here. Otherwise entries can be mailed to the Hub City Writers Project, 149 S. Daniel Morgan Ave, Suite 2, Spartanburg, S.C. 29306.

Winners will be notified by April 1, 2010. Entrants who are mailing submissions should include a self-addressed, stamped envelope for notification. No manuscripts will be returned.
