Two Categories, Poetry & Prose: Poetry: Mountain and/or climbing-related writing in a verse format, typically evoking one or more of beauty, emotion, intensity, insight, humor. Prose: Factual discourse as well as topical and fictional writing, consider the following ideas: • Mountain Literature: non-fiction and fiction stories on mountaineering, mountain history, mountain travel, mountain culture, mountain environment, mountain adventure and mountain or climbing experience of any kind. • Adventure Travel: non-fiction and fiction stories about travel to, and exploration of remote and/or rugged landscapes and cultures. • Exposition: informative, guide, self-help, and/or a ‘how-to’ account dealing with a physical activity in a mountain and/or climbing area. 11. Judging (or, if there are a large number of entries, final judging) of literary submissions will be by a ‘People’s Choice’ vote. The entries in each category will be read out aloud at the photo contest / literary contest on Thursday, February 18th at the Gathering Place (UNBC Campus), and voted on by the audience with a show of hands at the end of each category. The audience will be reminded to consider language, originality of subject and writing style. Each entry will be read by its author; or, if the author is unable to attend, by someone designated by the author. A maximum of two minutes will be allotted to each reading. As an incentive to attend the contest evening, it might be reasonable to anticipate that an author would have a natural advantage in rehearsing and reading his or her own work. All decisions are final. The entry is the $2/entry. We will collect payment at the night of the contest. Entries to be submitted to Angeline Spears at aecspears@gmail.com
