2016-2017 Stanley Lewis Cultural Diversity Writing Contest Open For Submissions

Madisonville Community College is pleased to announce that the Stanley Lewis Cultural Diversity Writing Contest is underway. Submissions will be accepted through October 31. Sponsored by MCC s Cultural Diversity Committee and supported by Eastview Baptist Church, the annual writing contest is held in memory of Stanley Lewis who was dedicated to meeting the needs of MCC students for more than 28 years. He was a member, Deacon and Trustee at Eastview Baptist Church in Madisonville

The Stanley Lewis Cultural Diversity Writing Contest is open to community members and students. Entries can be poems, essays, or short stories sharing experiences, thoughts, feelings or ideas about all types of diversity. Major components of judging will be the quality of the writing and its consistency with the standards for the form or genre of the submitted entry. Multiple submissions may be made in more than one genre, but each requires a separate entry form.

Prizes include $500 for the 1^st place winner, $150 for 2^nd place, and $50 for 3^rd place. A $50 award will be given for the best submission from a public, private, or home schooled elementary or middle school student. MCC employees, family members of contest judges, and previous contest winners are not eligible for prize awards.

The writing contest is open to the community. Additional contest guidelines along with a printable entry form can be found in the News amp; Events section on MCC s website (madisonville.kctcs.edu).

Submissions must be received by 4 p.m. on Monday, October 31. For additional information, contact James Bowles at 270.824.8588 or Joyce Riggs at 270.824.8581.
