TO THE EDITOR:
Want to be published in a book and win $125?! Don’t throw away that old paper from your English class!
Carolina Creates is excited to announce the inaugural Carolina Writer’s Initiative. The Carolina Writer’s Initiative is a writing competition to showcase writing by talented UNC students and UNC staff. Each winner will also receive one copy of the book and be awarded a $125 cash prize.
The Initiative is separated into three divisions: short fiction, poetry and creative non-fiction. Each candidate may only submit one entry per division. The maximum length per submission is 20 pages (12-point font, one-inch margins, double-spaced). Any additional pages will not be judged. The student winner in each division will have their submission published and printed into one book. In addition, a few copies of the book will be placed in the UNC library system and will also be available for sale.
All submissions must be emailed to carolinacreateswriters@gmail.com by 11:59pm on Feb. 1. Please include your name, hometown, and year. Also, if you send in a submission by 11:59 p.m. on Jan. 18, you will be entered into a raffle to win one of two tickets to TEDxUNC. We look forward to reading your work and showcasing the amazing talent at UNC to the world.
