Do you love to write? Do your friends say you are poetic? Are you creative? Then why not enter the Whistler Public Library’s 2 nd Annual Young Adult Writing Contest? Enter for the fun of it or enter for the cash prizes and the fame.
Short stories and poems can be submitted in any style and on any topic. Write a mystery or a haiku, it’s up to you. Be creative, experiment and have some fun. Entries will be judged according to style, originality, content, and yes, even grammar and spelling.
Entrants must be Whistler residents aged 12-18. The deadline for submissions is Oct. 30, 2001. Entry forms with complete contest rules are available at the Whistler Public Library, 4329 Main Street.
There will be first, second and third place prizes awarded in each category. First place is $75, second place is $40 and third place is $25. All winning entries will be published on the library’s Web site.
