The Little Tokyo Historical Society seeks fictional short stories for its third annual Imagine Little Tokyo short story contest in the categories of English language, Japanese language and youth (18 and younger). The deadline is January 31, 2016.
The purpose of the contest is to raise awareness of Little Tokyo through a creative story that takes place in Little Tokyo.
The story has to be fictional and set in a current, past or future Little Tokyo in the City of Los Angeles, California.
Each category winner will be awarded $500 in cash with their short story being published in The Rafu Shimpo and Discover Nikkei website.
A public award ceremony and dramatic readings of the winning stories are also being planned for spring 2016.
"Including the Japanese and youth categories last year enhanced our contest," said Bill Watanabe, head of the Imagine Little Tokyo committee. "It was exciting to receive submissions from around the state and globe and we hope to receive even more next year."
