JUST BUFFALO LITERARY CENTER ANNOUNCES 3rd ANNUAL MEMBER WRITING CONTEST & READING
Just Buffalo is pleased to announce the third annual member's writing contest and reading. The contest alternates annually between poetry and fiction. This year will feature poetry and will be judged by poet Ansie Baird, whose book, In Advance of All Parting, was recently published by White Pine Press.
Winners will be announced at a special member's reading at The Western New York Book Arts Center on Thursday, February 24, 2011 at 7:30 PM. Two awards will be presented: a Judge's award, chosen by Ms. Baird, 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, publication in Artvoice and a certificate of recognition from Just Buffalo.
The contest is open to writers of poetry who are Just Buffalo Literary Center members in good standing at the time of submission. Contestants may join Just Buffalo at the time of submission by visiting the Just Buffalo Website or by sending a check for $35 along with their hard copy entry. The deadline for the Just Buffalo Member's Writing Contest is Friday, January 28, 2011.
