Pop! goes the 2008 Creative Loafing Fiction Contest

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

It’s that time of year again folks - Fiction Contest time! And we know that given the current economic situation (there’s some serious cash at stake here people), there are more starving artists out there than ever.

So, submit a manuscript of no more than 3,000 words either as a hard copy to our offices or online. All works of fiction must in some way incorporate the word “pop” — as a theme, a metaphor, whatever. You can use the word as any way you like; just use it well. Originality is encouraged, and the word count is enforced.

CL Fiction Contest: We’re sponsored, again!

Remember that creepy scene in Casino where Sharon Stone is slithering all over Joe Pesci when she can’t get what she wants from Robert De Niro?

“I need a new sponsor, Nicky,” she coos through her tears. “I do. I need a new sponsor.”

Well, not only are we welcoming back one of last year’s sponsors, the Chattahoochee Review, which is helping pick up the tab, but also Café Intermezzo. Welcome back and aboard, respectively!

This is also a chance to remind all creative writers throughout the state of Georgia that the deadline for this year’s Fiction Contest is 5 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 21. (No, not next Wednesday; the one after that.)

This year’s theme is “Scratch,” no matter how you see it. Chicken scratch. Old Scratch. Scratch as money. Scratch that itch. Speaking of which, scratch that itch, get pen to paper and send it on in.

Here are the details.

Also, feel free to check out last year’s winning entries.

Write on.
