Oregon Quarterly essay contest invites entries on Northwest themes
EUGENE, Ore. -- (10/30, 2008) -- Oregon Quarterly, the magazine of the University of Oregon, invites submissions to its tenth annual Northwest Perspectives Essay Contest.
The Northwest Perspectives Essay Contest, sponsored by Oregon Quarterly and The Duck Store (formerly the University of Oregon Bookstore), is open to previously unpublished writing about ideas affecting the Northwest.Non-fiction writers are encouraged to compete in open and student categories.
The winner in the open category will receive $750 and publication in the Summer 2009 issue of Oregon Quarterly, which is distributed to nearly 100,000 readers. The student winner will receive $500 and publication in the Autumn 2009 issue. The second- and third-place writers in both categories will also receive cash prizes.
Olympian marathoner and native Oregonian Kenny Moore, author of ³Bowerman and the Men of Oregon,² will judge this year¹s contest. Moore has written articles for Sports Illustrated beginning in 1971 and served as a senior writer for the magazine from 1980 to 1995. He co-wrote (with Robert Towne) ³Without Limits,² the 1998 Warner Bros. feature film on Steve Prefontaine and Bill Bowerman.
The 15 finalists will be announced in the Summer 2009 issue of Oregon Quarterly and invited to attend a workshop with Moore. Six top essays, from both the student and open categories, will be featured in a public reading.
