Penn State Libraries Short Edition is sponsoring a short fiction and poetry writing contest coming up called “A Night at the Circus”. Anyone in the Penn State Community can submit stories revolving around this theme—whether it’s a literal interpretation or a metaphorical one. We’d love to see writers get creative with what they can do with “A Night at the Circus.”
The contest runs from Monday, March 1 to Friday, April 2. If accepted by the Editorial Board, a writer’s story or poem will be published on the Penn State Short Edition website.
In addition, five student winners will also have their stories published in Penn State’s short story dispensers as well as win a $100 cash prize. Honorable mentions (this can be anyone from the Penn State community) will be published in the dispensers, too.
This semester, we’re providing feedback if their submission doesn’t meet Short Edition’s standards. This way, they’ll be given a chance to revise their work. If resubmitted before the deadline and improvement is shown, they will be published on the website. Plus, writers will still be eligible for the contest prizes.
