Bucks County Community College has issued a call for entries for its short fiction contest for adults who live in Bucks County. The deadline to enter the 2024 Bucks County Short Fiction Contest is noon on Oct. 10.
The top three winners in the contest will receive gift cards of $200, $100, and $50, respectively, and will read from their work at a celebration on Nov. 9 at the college.
The final judge is writer C.J. Spataro, the director of the MFA in Creative Writing and MA in Publishing programs at Rosemont College in Montgomery County. She is also an award-winning short fiction writer.
Adult residents of Bucks County may submit one unpublished story of up to 15 typewritten pages (double-spaced, Times New Roman, 12 point).
A separate contest for high school students will be held in Spring 2025.
