100 Words on Why I Like SBWC Scholarship Contest

Our winner:

“Why I Like SBWC” Challenge

We received over 100 entries -- some humorous, some poetic, some touching. It was hard to pick, but this one made us feel the draw of finding new stories lurking at SBWC:

“Years ago, I wandered through SBWC's halls, a rookie among seasoned wordsmiths. Amidst whispers of pages and coffee clinks, my writing journey began. Now, drawn back, like a detective to an old case, I seek the conference’s labyrinth of workshops and late-night debates. Eager to unravel publishing mysteries and reconnect with fellow scribes, I'm ready to return, walk familiar paths, and discover new stories lurking in the shadows.” ~ Tracy Johns

This was the contest:

Write 100 words or fewer on what you like about the Santa Barbara Writers Conference. If you’ve never attended, that’s okay. You could write about what you hope to experience.

We’ll pick one contributor to receive free registration to this year’s conference. If you are picked, and you cannot attend, you may designate another writer to use your free registration. How cool is that? Either way, the prize must be used this June.

You may email your good words to info@sbwriters.com and put your 100 words in the body of the email. We'll announce a winner on February 9.
