Published
Do you have a way with the written word? Then enter Â鶹¹ÙÍø's Outside the Lines, an annual creative writing contest and anthology with categories open to Â鶹¹ÙÍø students, Tulsa high school students and Â鶹¹ÙÍø faculty and staff. Submissions are being accepted now through March 1.
The contest will accept writing in two categories: poetry and short prose (including both fiction and creative nonfiction, such as memoir or personal essay).
Submissions are being accepted through this new website www.tulsaccreview.com funded through a Faculty Innovation Grant. To submit work, follow the instructions on the website.
High school and Â鶹¹ÙÍø students are eligible to both win prizes and earn a spot in the anthology. Â鶹¹ÙÍø faculty and staff, however, are not eligible to enter the competition or win prizes, but their work is eligible for selection in the anthology.
