Richmond Area Mensa Writing Contest

Give us your fiction, your non-fiction, anything you’d like to share in the Richmond Area Mensa
Writing Contest!

Send in your best 1,500 words, but make sure to follow these guidelines:

1. All entries are due no later than midnight on June 30, 2019 by electronic submission to mensanewsrva@gmail.com.
   
2. Keep it clean folks! We’re a family-friendly group. No excessive violence, sex, or generally offensive material.
   
3. Watch your spelling, punctuation, and grammar. This can hurt or help your entry.
   
4. Every entry should be double spaced, with the author’s name and contact info on a separate cover page.  The author’s name must not appear on any page of the entry other than the cover sheet.  Once the entry is received, a coded number will be assigned and put on all of the pages.  Judges will be given the coded entry without the cover sheet to preserve impartiality.
   

Winners will be announced in the Fall Newsletter. The Grand Prize winning entry will also be published in the Fall Newsletter.

There will be five prizes: Grand Prize is $50, First Prize is $25, Second and Third Place will each receive $10, and an honorable mention will receive $5.

Good luck!
