Deadline Extended for Writing Contest

2/10/2020

 
​Learners can submit their work to the NJALL Learner Writing Contest until February 28, 2020. This year, cash prizes will be awarded in five categories - fiction, non-fiction, memoir, poetry and photography. Several winners will be invited to read their work and receive their awards at the annual NJALL conference on May 15. Winners' and other selected submissions will be published in a free magazine that will be available in the summer of 2020.
​Guidelines:
​* All adult learners are eligible, including students in adult literacy programs, those in adult high schools or equivalency programs, those in developmental education programs, those enrolled in English language classes and students studying for citizenship.
* Learners can submit one piece per category, except for poetry.  Learners can submit up to five poems for consideration.  Learners can send in submissions for multiple categories.
* All submissions must be original and represent the work of the learner - not the work of their teacher or tutor.  Teachers/tutors may help with spelling and grammar, but it should be limited in nature.  We are using the honor system with regards to this.
* English language learners can get help with translation, but the work should remain their own.
* There are no page or word limits.
​Submitting:
* Submissions need to be received by February 28, 2020 at [email protected]
* The email should identify the category of the submission.
* Submissions should include the learner's name and contact information and the name of the program or school they attend. The submission should also include a two or three sentence self-description of the learner.  If the learner wishes to remain anonymous or use a pen-name, this information should be provided when the work is submitted.
* By entering the contest, the learner agrees to have their piece published in the magazine if it is selected.
* All those submitting work will be notified of the decisions by March 16, 2020.
* Please send any questions to [email protected].
​Reviewers are also needed!
If you are interested in serving as a reviewer, please send an email to [email protected]
 
We are particularly interested in having learners serve on the review committee.
