Autumn Writers’ Exhibition in Second Life

The Autumn Writers' Exhibition opened its gates recently; SL's biggest event for writers is in its third year now. As in the past it's open to all writers, providing them an opportunity for display of their work and to take part in events. The exhibition is on Cookie Island and an adjoining island, which had generously been provided by Thinkerer Melville. The exhibition is sponsored by the Written Word group in Second Life. Below are links for the entry points to each exhibit area.

Be sure to stop over and check out the events and the displays. If you take pictures while visiting be sure to share them on the "AWE Experience on Flickr".

The following came to me by note from Jilly Kidd:

WRITTEN WORD GROUP AWE 2009 COMPETITIONS

3 L$5,000 PRIZES UP FOR GRABS

The Autumn Writers' Exhibition is looking wonderful so it's going to be hard to choose the best display for the L$5,000 prize.

We also have writing competitions, each with a L$5,000 prize. The theme this year is 'Celebration'.

Drop contest entries in the in-tray in Jilly's tent.

THE FIRST LONDON SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM L$5,000 PRIZE FOR A REVIEW ARTICLE

The London School of Journalism is sponsoring a prize contest for the best review of a live event. This should be about a real life live event. It's a prestigious prize as it will be judged by the owner of the London School of Journalism. Entries to my tent along with the others and I'll pass them to the LSJ.

L$5,000 POETRY/LYRIC COMPETITION

L$5,000 FICTION OR NON-FICTION COMPETITION

The competitions are for poetry/lyrics and prose. All entries must be on the theme of Celebration. The prose can be fiction or non-fiction up to 2,000 words, and the poetry can be a poem or song lyric with no limit in length but don't make it a whole book-length poem!

All entries must be received by October 31st. All entries must be your own work. Entries that have appeared on other websites and in other publications will be considered because you can't see too much of a good thing and we believe setting limitations on writers and artists is unfair.

Looking forward to reading them!
