 The annual Soul-Making Literary Competition is an extended community arts outreach program of the National League of American Pen Women, Nob Hill, San Francisco Bay Area Branch open to everyone, everywhere and looks for original, freshly creative and finely crafted works that embraces all creative interpretations of English poet, John Keats' statement: "Some say the world is a vale of tears, I say it is a place of soul-making". Judge's Comments: I am looking for well-crafted stories that are original and compelling. The story must demonstrate a mastery of and love for the English language. It must move, not wallow. The characters need to be vivid, the dialogue convincing. Above all, something must happen. This need not be a grand event, but some change must take place: an event, a revelation, or perhaps an insight. Please do not submit your story until you have polished and revised it multiple times. A great short story changes the reader. I look forward to being changed. Do not put your names on your manuscripts, instead, enclose one 3x5 card typed, affixed with a printed label or carefully printed with your name, address, phone, fax, email, and title(s) of work(s) and particular category/categories entered. Category must be indicated on 3x5 card as well as on manuscript.You may enter as many categories and as many times as you wish but you may not enter the same work in more than one category. Young Adult entrants must indicate age on card and manuscript. Previously published works okay (except for Novel Excerpt); however, those winning awards in prior Soul-Making categories may not be resubmitted. Please enclose $5 per entry payable to NLAPW, Nob Hill Branch. Do enclose SASE in your entry package if you wish to receive contest results. Prizes awarded in each category: FIRST PRIZE: $100 SECOND PRIZE: $50 THIRD PRIZE: $25 Winners and honorable mentions will be invited to read at the subsequent awards event held every March at the Koret Auditorium, San Francisco Main Library, Civic Center. send: Complete MS looking for: Short Story specifically: Literary |
