This is a good writing contest to consider submitting your writing to–done in a class or on your own. If you win an award or recognized in some way (e.g., “runner up”), you can include that on a resume or in a portfolio demonstrating that you are a good writer. Having evidence for your writing ability is far better than making empty claims about your ability.
The 2018 Literary Arts Festival Writing Competition is now accepting your literary art! Guidelines, submission dropboxes, and further information about the Festival can be found here: https://openlab.citytech.cuny.edu/literaryartsfestival/ Please note that, this year, you can submit directly to the website.
If you’re still crafting your entry, please note that the competition deadline is Thursday, March 29 at 11:59 pm.
Look out for more info about our main Festival event (April 19), featuring awards, readings, and literary discussion galore.
Please contact Lucas Kwong (LKwong@citytech.cuny.edu) if you have further questions about the Competition.
