The online literary journal and blog edited by three local writers — Kauaibackstory.com — announces its second annual writing competition. This year’s theme is “Green.”
Entries will be accepted in the following categories: essay, story, poem and visual image.
A student category will be created pending interest and writing quality. Entries must focus on Kaua‘i.
Participants are urged to express their thoughts, feelings and observations about the theme, “Green” through the lens of their own unique experience and viewpoint.
Prizes will be awarded. Winners and other noteworthy contributors will be posted on the Web site and invited to read at a local venue in October. (Date and place to be determined.) Writers may submit up to three entries.
There is no word limit — brevity is encouraged but not required.
Visit www.kauaibackstory.com to view the quality of works posted and the blog’s mission statement as well as the requirements of entering.
The deadline for submitting entries is midnight, Sept. 1.
Last year’s winners for the “Kauai on my Mind” creative competition are: Lois Ann Ell for her essay “Makawauhi Cave;” Juan Lugo for his narrative poem, “The Hitch-Hiker in Old Lihu‘e Town;” Mary Hunter Leach for her photograph “Misty Palis;” and Kimie Sadoyama for her poem “Filipinos.”
