It
is another year when all writers whether working as part of an organization or
individually from the state of Seattle get a chance to showcase their talents
through their written work.
Each
year all writers in Seattle meet at the Seattle Writing Contest to celebrate
the best writers and the organizations they work for. The top three are
awarded. This year the contest was held
on 5th January 2019, at Washington, 14th Avenue in the Central District. The
theme for the year was ‘Saving the Environment.’ Contestants were expected to
submit their applications via a web portal which was publicly announced.
The
Seattle Writing Contest is an initiative of the Seattle youth with the aim of
capturing new talents. They have ensured to keep the age limit for the application
open so that everybody who is a legal resident in the state of Seattle can
attend. Those who are under eighteen are allowed to participate under the
consent of their parents. The competition is in its fifth year, with some of
its writers becoming best sellers in the country. It is always a huge deal to
win in such a competition. Other than the monetary gift that one gets, they
also get a chance to be published with the number one publishing house in the
country.
This
year’s contest was quite spectacular with the contest adding the categories of
winners to include poetry and spoken work. This is unlike the previous years
where the writing competition was only for science writing, fiction, and
non-fiction writers. This saw the event hosting over 900 writers from all over
the state of Seattle and the awarding of the top three writers in each
category.
About
the Seattle Writing Contests
The
Seattle writing contest is a yearly writing contest that aims to bring together
writers representing specific essay writing agencies from the state of Seattle
for an eye-opening series of contests that will lead to signing a deal with one
of the biggest publishers in the country while the essay company involved gets
to take home the Crimson Award. Each year a specific theme is selected that
cover the occurrence of the state, as a means of educating the public.
This
year’s theme was ‘Saving the Environment.’ This theme was selected due to the
deteriorating nature of the environment. The constant deforestation, littering,
and urbanization have encouraged the degradation of the Environment. This has
brought dire consequences including climate change, negative effect on wild
animals and marine. The earth is slowly losing its natural flora and fauna to
human activity, and hence there is a need to reduce the activities that lead to
this. The huge concern of wildfires in the region is also a huge motivator for
the theme. Washington has been a victim of major wildfires that have led to the
loss of life and property, and disturbance of normal activities due to the
contaminated air. It is based on this feeling that the group decided on the
theme. Through this theme, they hope to educate the mass on environment
conservation, and protection from wildfires in case of future occurrences.
The
contest sees numerous applications from individuals and companies in Seattle
year after year. This has continually raised the bar as far as applications are
concerned. This year was no different with numerous applications from the
different categories. They were all eager to show their talent and creativity
by presenting some of the best stories, poems and scientific work. As can be
seen, the winners are quite excited about the event. The competition is not
only a chance for winning prizes but also to get published and develop a
readership for your work. Many credible writers in Seattle started their career
rooting from this contest.
This
year’s event has been quite colorful with entertainment from leading bands and
standup comedians. The top ten winners in the spoken word category have also
been given a chance to present their works to the audience.
The
attendees not only included new writers from new companies. Some of the most
famous writers from established companies are also invited to take part in this
significant event. This is to help with networking and to provide the new
writers with a chance to meet their idols. This year we were successful to get
James Patterson to grace the event and use the event to launch his newest
novel. The new writers got a chance to have a hearty talk with him and to hear
his advice on what is selling in the writing market.
The
epitome of the event is the crowing of the top three nominees from each
category. It is a coveted accomplishment to win and a big opportunity for
people who are interested in being professional writers. From the three
nominees, a winner is selected. This is based on their quality of work and
ability to interact with the theme of the contest. The overall winner gets the
greatest gift of being published, on top of the cash price that they receive.
They also get credibility in their work and readership.
Just
Like in all previous contests the prices were a $3,700 cash price plus a free
library card for six months for the second runners-up, $2500 cash price plus a
free library card for one year for the first runners-up, and the winner a
$1,200 cash price, a free library card for one year, and a chance to get
published.
The
finalist in the gold ticket round who will be representing his or her company
as well will individually win a four-month mentorship with Victoria Hames that
will also include:
Ø A
critique of an additional five chapters or 25,000 words.
Ø Proceed
to work on realistic developing goals.
Ø Assist
with synopsis writing.
Those
who do not make it to the finalist round do not go home empty-handed; the
contest provides a good platform for constructive criticism on written work,
and they will also receive one published author critique from either Hannah
James or Eve Armstrong. Judges are keen to advise the writers on specifics
which are equally important especially for young writers who are willing to go
down the writing profession. All writers get a chance to network, gain
credibility and readership, on top of the entertainment and lots of food.
