Short Fiction in all Disciplines 2010

The Board of Directors of The Arch and Bruce Brown Foundation is pleased to announce a Writing Competition for the Foundation’s 2010 writing grants.  Submissions may include Short Stories, One-act Plays or short film or video projects.  All works must present the gay and lesbian lifestyle in a positive manner and be based on, or directly inspired by, a historic person or event.  (You may think your affair with the dancer from the Russian ballet was historic, but it doesn’t count.) One work per author, please.  

All works must be unpublished, original, and in English.  Adaptations or translations of other works of fiction are not acceptable.  The winners selected by the judges will be announced the following May and will receive a cash award of $1,000 (not limited to a single winner).

All submissions must be postmarked by midnight November 30, 2010.  Mail manuscript, including author’s name, address, phone number, a note on the historical inspiration for the work.  Manuscripts can not be returned because of the large numbers of submissions.
