Annual Poul Anderson writing contest is now accepting submissions

The Poul Anderson Creative Writing Contest is held each spring, sponsored by the Friends of the Orinda Library. The contest is open to all students who reside and/or attend high school in Orinda. The contest is named in honor of the late Poul Anderson, a popular science-fiction writer and Orinda resident, who was a true friend to the community for 40 years.

Students may submit one entry in any of the four categories for a total of not more than three entries. The deadline for submissions is April 15. The four categories are Science Fiction/Fantasy; Essay/Memoir/Biography; Poetry; and Short Story. Entries are judged by a panel of local writers and residents. Awards will go to the works judged best. There will not necessarily be one award in each category.

Up to four winners will each be awarded cash prizes at the end of the school year, underwritten by the Friends of the Orinda Library. The winning entries will be posted on the Friends' website and inside the Orinda Library facility, for all to enjoy.

More information about the contest, including submission requirements, can be found on the Friends of the Orinda Library website, https://friendsoftheorindalibrary.org/writingcontest/
