Reminiscent Writing Contest

Anyone interested in recording personal history can enter the 2012 Reminiscent Writing Contest. There is no entry fee. Any story that does not embarass or harm anyone may be entered.

This year's theme is "Community, Civility and Compassion". Stories must be typed, double-spaced, and have no more than 1000 words or four pages. Use a cover sheet with your name, address, phone number, email address and the name of your story. Do NOT put your name on any pages of your story. You may submit up to two entries. You can turn in your story anytime on or before December 29, 2012.

The winner will be announced at the 2013 Reminiscent Reading Program. The first place winner will receive $25. All participants receive a copy of the book containing all of the stories.
