Writers, sharpen your pencils or boot up your laptops - it's time for the Royal City Literary Arts Society's Write On! contest.
The 2014 contest is welcoming submissions now, and it closes on March 15.
The annual writing contest includes three categories: non-fiction (maximum 1,500 words), fiction (maximum 1,500 words) and poetry (maximum one page single-spaced).
The contest is being judged by last year's first-place winners: Jonina Kirton in poetry, Corey Levine in non-fiction and Antonia Levi in fiction.
First-, second- and third-place winners in each category will receive prizes, and there will be three honourable mentions in each category.
Winners and honourable mentions will be published, and first-place winners will be featured at a Lit Fest New West showcase on April 26.
Entry fees are $10 for society members, or $20 for non-members. Multiple entries are allowed.
Entries should be emailed as Word documents to [email protected].
