Call For Writers!

ByAndante1750

Calling all writers!  We are looking for Window Poems.

The Arts Council is getting ready to host the 50th Parallel Art&Earth Festival from September 20-22 in Campbell River. As part of the Festival, we will be decaling local short poems on storefront windows in the downtown area (for those of you that remember we did this for the Rain&Fire Festival in 2011).  We aim to place the poems on the windows toward the end of August as a lead up to the Festival.  They will remain in place until the end of September.  Our partner on this initiative is the Downtown BIA.  
 
As the Festival is addressing the intersection of the arts and the environment, we are looking for what might be loosely termed ‘environmental poetry’, or poetry (in all its forms) that is inclusive of ‘nature’ in its broad sense.
 
We are asking for submissions of poetry/text up to 100 words.  Selected text will be awarded an honorarium of $100 for the use of the text on a window. Authors will be identified with each text.
 
If you would like to submit please send an email to Ken Blackburn at:  arts.council@crarts.ca   Please send the text in exactly the format that you would like it printed.  The scale of each poem will be determined by the window of each participating business.  Selection of the texts will be determined by committee.

Please contact Ken Blackburn, Executive Director of the Campbell River Arts Council if you require further information.
