Leading up to this Festival, we are hosting a literary contest for high school and college students; winners will be announced at the Festival and read their submissions alongside our guest poets and prose writers, who will also serve as judges for the competition.. All contestants will take part in free creative writing workshops in the weeks leading up to the Festival.
Please encourage any high school or college students you think would be interested to enter the contest! Contest details can be found here or by emailing convivium.journal@gmail.com.
