It was standing room only at our reception yesterday (Sunday May 16) where writers could read bits of their winning pieces. How fun to hear from the creative minds of Missoula and beyond!
A couple fun tidbits about their year's contest: 96 entries were submitted in time for our deadline (20 percent more than last year), with pieces coming from as far away as New Jersey & Nebraska. Winners hailed from Missoula, Florence, Huson, Victor, Helena, & Lolo.
Special thanks to our judges, and program sponsors Altrusa International, Inc. of Missoula; Missoula Kiwanis; and PEO Chapter BQ.
We'll be compiling entries into 2 bound volumes - one for our Montana Collection and the other for checkout, so watch our catalog for the chance to read some fabulous original writing. Plus, stop by the Montana Room and read last year's entries now.
A crowd attended Sunday's reception, ready to hear some great writing from our winners.
Laura Vonnessen (first place, fiction, ages 15-18) was among the winners who read their pieces.
Certificates were given for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places in each category.
