IN OTHER WORDS Contest at the Conference
Let's paper the walls this year!
A tradition at the Pennwriters Conference, IN OTHER WORDS is a peer-judged contest with only one rule: Whatever you write must fit on one side of an 81/2 by 11 inch sheet of paper.
The categories are fiction, non-fiction, and poetry. Here's a chance to stretch outside of your genre, be whimsical or literary. Enter all three categories if you have three flashes of inspiration. Forget about manuscript parameters. Print your entry on a computer, write it longhand, do it in calligraphy.
Put your name and address on the back, not on the front. Bring it to the hospitality room, hang it on the wall as soon as possible so everyone has a chance to read all entries before voting.
Ballots will be included in the registration packets.
Rest assured, the brightest stars of the published Penns politely refrain from entering IN OTHER WORDS to give other writers a chance to shine.
Certificates are awarded to first through third place in each category. |
