USU 'Scribendi' creative writing contest seeks submissions

January 20, 2006 | Utah State University's department of English invites students across campus to enter their creative work in the annual Scribendi Creative Writing Contest.

"All students are welcome to participate, no matter their college or department," said Anne Shifrer, contest director.

The deadline for final submission is Feb. 3, Shifrer said. Judging will take place and winners will be notified in March.

Graduates and undergraduates compete separately in the following categories: poetry, short fiction and non-fiction essay. ASUSU has supplied cash awards for each category, and winning entries will be published in a hard copy edition of Scribendi as well as online. The Thad and Jenny Box Creative Writing Scholarship will also be awarded to one of the competitors in the contest.

For submission instructions and more information, go to the English department Web site and select Creative Writing Contest from the menu http://english.usu.edu/Document/index.asp?Parent=576.
