The annual Poul Anderson writing contest for Orinda high school students opens

All students who reside and/or attend high school in Orinda may now submit entries for the Poul Anderson writing contest. The deadline for submission is midnight, April 14. Students may submit one entry in any of the four categories for a total of not more than three entries. The categories are Science Fiction/Fantasy, Essay/Memoir/Biography, Poetry, and Short Story.

Entries will be judged by a panel of local judges who are involved professionally in reading, writing or publishing.

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.

Up to four winners will each be awarded $500 prizes at the end of the school year, underwritten by the Friends of the Orinda Library. Awards will go to the works judged best. There will not necessarily be one award in each category. The winning entries will be posted on the Friends' website. Winning entries from previous years are also available to read on the website.

Entries must be submitted as PDFs or Word attachments to an email sent along with a contest entry form.

Further instructions for submission are on the 2023 Contest Entry Form, which can be found at https://friendsoftheorindalibrary.org/2022/02/27/announcing-the-2021-poul-anderson-creative-writing-contest-2/
