Come to the Rising Star Creative Writing Competition Awards and help us recognize the winners of this year's competition for high school- and college-age writers. Winning entries were selected from 100 submissions throughout the Northwest states of Oregon, Idaho and Washington.
The Central Oregon Community College Library will provide a fitting setting for award presentations by the judge for each category and readings by the 2010 winners. A chapbook (anthology) of the winning entries, plus work by students in NOW's creative writing workshops, will be available for donations to commemorate the occasion. The event starts at 7:30 p.m. and is free to the public. A reception will follow the awards presentation.
Winners receive a cash prize, certificate of recognition, scholarship to a guest author workshop in their winning genre, publication of their winning entries in a chapbook , gifts donated by sponsors, and a trophy. Each Honorable Mention recipient will receive The Nature of Words journal, chapbook, gifts donated by sponsors, and a certificate of recognition.
You will also have an opportunity to meet this year's judges - all accomplished writers in their own right - and purchase their books.
