JUST BUFFALO MEMBER EVENTS
2ND ANNUAL Just Buffalo Members' Writing Contest and Reading
Just Buffalo Literary Center is pleased to announce the second annual
members' writing contest and reading. The contest alternates annually
between poetry and fiction. This second installment will focus on flash
fiction (fiction of 250 words of less) and will be judged by Prof. Kim
Chinquee of Buffalo State College. Winners will be announced at a
special member's reading at Just Buffalo on Saturday, February 20. Two
awards will be presented: a Judge's award, chosen by Ms. Chinquee, and
an audience award, to be voted on by the audience present at the event.
Audience Award and Judge's Award winners will each receive a $50 cash
prize, a gift certificate from Talking Leaves Books, a certificate of
recognition from Just Buffalo, and publication in Artvoice. The contest
is open to writers of flash fiction who are Just Buffalo members in
good standing at the time of submission. Contestants may join Just
Buffalo at the time of submission by visiting the Just Buffalo Web site
(www.justbuffalo.org) or by sending a check for $35 along with their
entry.
Guidelines:
1. Submit one piece of flash fiction on any subject that is NO LONGER
THAN 250 WORDS. Pieces that exceed the word limit will be rejected out
of hand with no refund of membership costs.
2. Include a separate cover page that includes name, address, telephone
and email. DO NOT PUT YOUR NAME ON THE FICTION ITSELF. JUDGING IS
BLIND. One flash fiction piece per entrant.
