Student Writing Contest

2010 Writing Contest Chairman, Thom Satterlee, Taylor University

The 2010 Student Writing Contest is open to all regularly enrolled undergraduate students, and prizes will be awarded in poetry, non-fiction, and fiction. All winners (first, second, and third places in each category) will receive a generous selection of books, a one-year subscription to Image, a one-year membership to the Conference on Christianity and Literature, and the opportunity to have the winning entry published on the CCL website.

Although submissions need not address religious experience directly, each entry should suggest its writer’s vision of spiritual inquiry. Students may submit up to three typed entries (font size 12-14). Poems should be no more than two pages long; fiction and non-fiction entries must be double-spaced and may not exceed fifteen pages.

Judges for the contest are

Poetry: James Zoller
Non-Fiction: Linda Buturian
Fiction: Tom Noyes

Only the title of the work should appear on each entry. A separate page for each work should list:

Author’s name
E-mail address
Permanent mailing address
Current academic affiliation
Category of each entry
Title(s) of work(s) entered

Entries must be received by Friday, March 8, 2010.
