Annual Writers’ Festival Contest

Each year in preparation for its annual Writers’ Festival in the spring, the Agnes Scot College Department of English holds a writing contest for students enrolled in colleges and universities in the state of Georgia during the fall of that year. Entries in four categories—poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction (the personal essay), and dramatic writing (the one-act play) are accepted until the deadline, usually the first week in December. Entries are judged by writers not associated with the college, and the finalists’ works are published in the festival magazine. The festival guest writers choose a prizewinner in each of the four categories, and those selected receive a cash prize. 

The Writers’ Festival Contest for the 2013 festival is now closed.

The contest for the 2014 festival will open on September 30, 2013.
