I love that Superstition Review keeps the audience aware of contests happening in the community! It is a great way to encourage writers and artists to submit their work. Being a writer in college, I am always keeping an eye out for potential opportunities to submit my work.
This is such a great, local opportunity! It’s so cool to find out about all of the happenings/contests in the writing community.
Even though I rarely submit my own work I love to hear about local organizations supporting local artists/writers. I’m so glad that Superstition [Review] is there to keep us informed and allow us to find ways to push our boundaries.
It wasn’t until I came to university that I learnt just how many contests and opportunities like this exist to submit writing! Being involved with and informed of English programs certainly helps.
Oh my goodness, I wish I had seen this sooner because I would’ve loved to submit! I’ll definitely keep a closer eye out for more contests like this.
The Tempe Writer’s Forum is a wonderful organization. I was lucky enough to meet the contest founders for a school newspaper article, and they are all very passionate about helping aspiring writers in the community!
Oh wow, I’m so glad that I happened across this post. This seems like just the thing I need to get my work out there; I can’t wait to share this!
Im so glad SR posts local contests. I have always wanted to enter in this one but always forget and find it again too late!
I often find myself wondering about contests like these, and I’m glad SR provides posts about it. I honestly would not have heard about this contest if I hadn’t seen this blog post, so from now on I will make sure I check this category consistently for any further local contests. It’s a great way to try and get one’s work out to the public, and maybe even make a bit of money while doing so!
