As a current OU-C student, you are invited to submit any work of fiction, 1200 words max, that addresses an aspect of the theme Women, Politics, and Other Fairytales. This contest is open to all sub-genres of fiction including, but not limited to, traditional prose, fables, fairytales, science-fiction, romance, action-adventure, horror, comedy, satire, and collage. The title of this contest is meant to be both provocative and open to interpretation.
Although we gladly accept and support traditional mediums such as short stories and poetry, we also encourage those students who may be inclined to experiment with contemporary mediums such as graphic design (limit of 36”x24”), short film (limit of 6 minutes, please include script), blog excerpts, online websites (please provide links), comics, and other forms. First Place and honorable mentions will be announced no later than the first week of Winter Quarter.
First Place: $75.oo Gas Card !
All submissions are due by 5:00 p.m. on Monday, November 10, 2008, at the Learning Center in Stevenson.
Submissions are limited to two per student. Entry forms are available at the Writing Center where entries will be submitted in triplicate with cover sheet. Applicants will list ONLY PID#s, on every page, in either header or footer (all entries bearing names will be disqualified). Entries will be read by a panel from the OU-C English department and undergo a fair-minded selection process involving no fewer than three judges. Students are encouraged to use the Writing Center as a confidential resource for thoughtful feedback.
