Got writing? Whether you write poetry, prose, fiction, nonfiction, literary, western, mysteries/thrillers, science fiction or fantasy, the San Mateo County Fair has a contest for you. There are even special categories for podcasters and writers 55 years and older. Plus, there’s an opportunity for a U.S. student writer to win a $20,000 creative writing scholarship to Notre Dame de Namur University in Belmont, California.
Writers from BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE of California may enter the San Mateo County Fair writing contests.
Writers must be at least sixteen years of age to enter in the adult divisions. The deadline is April 1, 2014. The fee for each adult division entry is $10.
Most of the contests award cash prizes.
Winners in the adult divisions, pending their permission, will have all or part of their winning entries published in the annual Carry the Light Anthology. The anthology, to be published by the Sand Hill Review Press, will be sold at the fair and on Amazon.com.
