The Whistler Writing Society has launched its Summer Comeback writing contest open to Sea to Sky writers from Lions Bay in Lillooet.
A writer from three divisions will be chosen to read their winning submission at an event scheduled for Thursday, July 8 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at a location that has yet to be announced.
The winners will receive a cash prize of $ 100 and two tickets to the event, which is also broadcast live.
Entries must be a maximum of 250 words and can be in literary genres ranging from poetry to creative non-fiction, spoken word and storytelling. Speakers and storytellers can submit a video of their story of two minutes or less.
The three categories are Indigenous, Youth (18 and under), and Open.
Regarding the theme of A Mighty Balance, the organizers came up with a few questions to spark ideas, including: Are there aspects of your life that you found too difficult to balance? What do we discover when the balance is lost? What does balance mean and do people change if it changes?
Meanwhile, the event will also feature readings by guest authors Joshua Whitehead, Katherine Fawcett, Sara Leach, and Mary MacDonald. Leslie Anthony will be moderated.
