Opportunity for writers and artists

October 2016 will mark the first anniversary of Verbolatry newsletter, and to celebrate there will be a contest for humorous essays and cartoons on writing/publishing.

There are cash prizes to be won and publication in the newsletter. In addition to increasing the newsletter's readership, the organisers hope is that this contest will fill a void in the industry and encourage and empower those writers and artists who work in this under-represented genre to continue creating good writing and art.

On the judging panel are three well-known names in the literary circles: Moira Allen, Leigh Anne Jasheway and Geoff Tristram.

Entries are now being accepted, and the deadline is August 31, 2016. There are two categories, free and paid, with cash prizes and publication.
