Canada Reads Contest
Canadian Broadcasting Corp’s program North by Northwest has a writing contest on for very short fiction, as a joint collaboration with their nation-wide Canada Reads contest.
“All five novels in the running for this year’s [Canada Reads] contest have characters who are someplace they don’t want to be and they are all trying to escape in one way or another,” says the CBC media release. “So we’ve created the Canada Reads One Paragraph Contest. To enter all you have to do is write a fictional paragraph about a character (or characters) being someplace (literally or figuratively) they don’t want to be and from which they are trying to escape. We’ll choose three winners who will each receive a set of all five Canada Reads 2014 books.”
The deadline is Sunday February 16th. Send entries to nxnw(at)cbc.ca
