The Brooklyn Film & Arts
Festival is pleased to announce the call for submissions for the 2014
Brooklyn Non-Fiction Prize.
The Brooklyn Non-Fiction
Prize, a cash award of $500, will be awarded to the best Brooklyn-focused
non-fiction essay which is set in Brooklyn and is about Brooklyn and/or
Brooklyn people/characters.
We are seeking compelling
Brooklyn stories from writers with a broad range of backgrounds and ages who
can render Brooklyn's rich soul and intangible qualities through the writer's
actual experiences in Brooklyn.
From the collection of selected
Brooklyn Non-Fiction Prize submissions, five authors will be selected to read
from their work and discuss their Brooklyn stories with the audience at our
December 2014 event.
The exact date/time and venue
will be announced later.
These stories and several other
submitted stories will be published on the Brooklyn Film and Arts Festival
website and made available to the public.
Entry Fee – Free
The award is $500.
Submissions should be between 4
to 10 pages. (Up to 2500 words).
Send your Brooklyn Non-Fiction
story as a Word document by email to: Brooklynfa@yahoo.com
Please include the story title,
your name, email and phone number.
The submitted writings will be
judged by a panel of Brooklyn writers.
Runners-up will be invited to
read from their writing and their entries will be included in the Brooklyn Film
& Arts Festival’s Brooklyn Non-Fiction Collection of stories in an online
anthology.
