The 2007 ILP Writing Competition is now open, and will be running until the end of the month. To be as welcoming as possible we’ve decided to accept any sort of entry - essay, story, poem, article, dramatic monologue - whatever you like, and this time you’re welcome to submit up to three pieces if you have the time and enthusiasm. This competition’s theme is Paradise.
As per usual, entries to be submitted (preferably as attachments in .doc format) to ilpcompetitions@yahoo.co.uk and results will be announced early in July.
We had three different comps last year, one of which had utopia as its topic. And it was an essay competition. This time we’re looking for any sort of written entry and the theme is somewhat broader than the staunchly political ‘utopia’. Paradise could imply a theological argument or a memory of a holiday, or a sexual or culinary encounter, or…
It’s up to you lot, really. You are the ones who do the work that make the competitions worth running.
And you in particular, Zeus, I’m expecting something from you otherwise I’ll be personally disappointed.
Just a heads up - we’re about halfway through the time limit for entries and while we’ve had a handful so far I’m hoping for a few more, so bear in mind that you’ve got about two weeks before the deadline (end of the month).
