Workshops
Submit work to be considered for workshops.
All participants who would like to have their writing considered as an object for discussion during the festival workshops must submit it to Karl Elder electronically by Oct. 15. Participants may submit material for workshops in one genre only--poetry, fiction, or creative nonfiction. It will then be forwarded to the featured writers, who will decide how many and which of the manuscripts (or excerpts thereof) there will be opportunity to approach.
Contests
Contest entries must contain the writer's name and address on a separate title page, be in type, and submitted as clear, hard copy on Friday, November 5, at the festival registration table. Entries may be in each of three genres per participant, yet only one poem, one story, and/or one nonfiction piece may be submitted.
There will be two categories--high school students on one hand, all others on the other--of cash awards for first place in each of three genres--poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction.
The judges reserve the right to decline to award a prize in one or more of the genres. Judges will be the editorial staff of Seems, excluding the festival coordinator, Mr. Elder.
Only workshop participants are eligible for awards.
