Call for Entries in 2009 Hub City Prizes |
The Hub City Writers Project will award the Hub City Prizes again in March 2009 for excellence in creative writing among Spartanburg County adults. Prizes will be awarded for poetry and fiction. The deadline for entry is Feb. 1, 2009. 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” workshop July 31-Aug 2, 2009 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.
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, social security number (or other identifying number) and
address. The author's name should not appear anywhere else on the
manuscript. Entries should 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, 2009. Entrants should include a
self-addressed, stamped envelope for notification. No manuscripts will
be returned.
