Albuquerque hosts short story contest
The Reading Works Short Story Contest is now underway in Albuquerque, and will proceed into January.
Reading Works designed the short story contest to serve as a fundraiser. The locally based nonprofit organization began in 2009 and now regularly tutors Albuquerque adults and teens in English speaking, reading, and writing through classes, events, and one-on-one sessions.
The Short Story Contest challenges Albuquerque contestants to exercise their creativity by writing original 100-word stories on one of the following topics or themes: bowling, water, ants, or the 1940s. Some of the categories eligible for cash prizes include $50 for Best Youth Story, $50 for People’s Choice, $50 for Best of Category, and $100 for Best of Contest. The organizers of contests like this often use poster printing to put up local advertisements in various venues to capture the attention of anyone who may be interested in participating.
Submissions have been invited since October 1 and are set to continue into next year. Writers can submit their stories to Reading Works by emailing them in PDF files for a fee of $10 per person. Authors ages 14 and younger must specify their ages in order to qualify for the Youth Category.
The Reading Works Short Story Contest is scheduled to continue over the next few weeks until its deadline on Friday, January 15 at midnight.
