Get writing. The President’s Prizes in Creative Writing Competition are looking for original pieces in one or all of the following genres: poetry, short fiction, screenplay and stage play.
The contest is open to all full- or part-time York University undergraduate students at the Keele and Glendon campuses. The deadline for submission is Wednesday, Jan. 10, 2018 at 5pm.
Although students can submit work to more than one category, they may only submit one work per genre.
A prize of $400 will be awarded to the best entry in each category. Material submitted must be original, unpublished and cannot have previously won any other contests.
The entries will be judged anonymously. Results of the competition will be announced within three months of the deadline. Prizes will be awarded at The President’s and Faculty of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies’ Creative Writing Reception in the spring.
Winners’ names will be published in YFile and posted on the English Department and Creative Writing Program websites, as well as in the English Department’s display case.
For all the details, including submission format, visit the Creative Writing Program website.
