Local poets and short story writers will take the spotlight Friday, November 13, as the Norfolk County Public Library hands out its annual Norfolk Literary Prize awards in St. Williams.
The ceremony begins at 7 p.m. at the St. Williams Community Centre, with doors opening at 6:30 p.m.
Writer Irina Moga will deliver the keynote address, and first-place winners will read from their winning entries.
The annual contest recognizes writers in children’s, youth and adult divisions, with categories for poetry and short fiction.
This year’s contest accepted short stories of up to 3,000 words, with submissions closing July 31.
The evening will also include remarks from local dignitaries, the awards presentation and a chance to meet local writers over snacks.
The St. Williams Community Centre is at 80 Queen Street West.
