Calling all Burlington writers — your next story starts right here, right now!
Burlington Public Library invites writers across the community to take part in its annual Write Here Write Now writing contest, running from May 1 to 31.
Open to ages 9 and older who live, work, or attend school in Burlington, the contest encourages participants to submit an original, unpublished short story inspired by this year’s theme, Beyond the Open Door. The theme is open to interpretation. An “open door” might lead to adventure, transformation, mystery, or something entirely unexpected. But whatever lies beyond it, the theme must be clearly and thoughtfully woven into your story.
One winning entry will be selected in each age category: children (ages 9–12), teens (ages 13–17), and adults (18+). A panel of judges will review all submissions, and each winner will receive a $100 cash prize.
The deadline to enter is 5 p.m. on Sunday, May 31.
Visit www.bpl.on.ca/writenow for the contest entry rules and online submission form.
