Snowbound Writer’s Contest Entry Form

Submit a new form for each entry and ensure they meet all eligibility guidelines.

Submission Guidelines

The formatting of your PDF file must meet the following guidelines for eligibility:

  • One cover sheet listing the entry you’re submitting, giving title and category (poetry/short story).

  • The author name must not appear on the actual entry; only on the cover page.

  • Material should be in black font, double-spaced, and have no background color.

  • Artificial Intelligence (AI) may be used as a tool for outlining or editing. However, entries must represent the writer’s unique voice and creative decisions rather than being generated using AI.

  • No artwork may be included.

  • Manuscripts will not be returned.

  • The Auburn Arts Commission may publish on its website and/or other media, which could affect eligibility for other contests.
