Are you a full-time student who enjoys writing fiction? If so, check out these writing competitions offered through the Norman Mailer Center.
The Four-Year College Writing Award Competition is open to current full-time undergraduate students. Maximum length of entry is 15 single-spaced pages. Winner will receive the following:
• Cash award of $10,000
• Scholarship to the Norman Mailer Writers Colony during the summer of 2013
• Travel and lodging* to attend the Colony’s National Award Ceremony
Students may submit one or more stories (within the page limits) or a self-contained section of a longer work (for example, from a novel). Submissions may be “conventional” or “experimental” and may represent any fiction tradition. However, the best work will demonstrate compelling literary merit.
The Poetry Award is open to full-time students enrolled in four-year colleges, two-year colleges, junior colleges, and technical colleges. Students may submit one or more poems, to a maximum of 10 pages. The winner will receive:
• Cash award of $5,000
• Travel and lodging* to attend the Colony’s National Award Ceremony
Entries for both awards will be accepted until April 30, 2012, Noon CDT. For more information, or to enter, visit: http://www.ncte.org/awards/student/nmwa.
