NEW THIS YEAR: Contestants can upload their headshot and bio (75 words or less), blog and website links. These will be posted on our Literary Arts page by year to help writers promote themselves. Our literary stage events (June 11-18) will utilize the CWC motto "Writers Helping Writers," with an emphasis on mentoring.
