2005 Literary Art Contest
Each year, as part of the National Starlings Tournament in San Diego, CA, there is a Literary/Art Contest. Awards are given out at the National Tournament in San Diego. The NYC Starlings have had two first place winners in this contest in years past, and we hope to continue our winning tradition!
This year's Literary/Art Contest Theme is
"What Starlings Means to Me"
You can submit an essay, a poem, or create a piece of artwork that conveys what it means to you to be a member of the Starlings organization.
Rules/Guidelines
* The word limit for the essay is between 1,000 and 1,500 words. * Artwork does not include photography or graphic design, but all other media is OK * All NYC Starlings are required to submit an essay or artwork regardless of whether they attend the National Tournament in San Diego--you are still eligible to win a prize for your submission! * You may submit both an essay or poem and artwork and are eligible to win prizes for both!
The deadline for submission of a 1st draft of your essays to Kimary or Julie is April 29th, 2005. You may submit these by email ([email protected]) or as hard copy in person at practice on Friday, April 29th. If submitting artwork, please let us know what you are working on and/or show us your progress on April 29th.
We will conduct a Writing Workshop between now and the April 29th deadline to help you get started or further develop your essays.
Here are some sub-topic ideas to help you get started on your essay or artwork:
