TONIGHT’s the night! The Ottawa Public Library hosts the annual awards ceremony for winning poets and writers who entered the 2014 Awesome Authors Contest.
The event at Ben Franklin Place (Centrepoint) welcomes emerging writers from across the community and their friends and family. Be prepared for a large and enthusiastic crowd. Extra seats are being offered this year after there was standing room only in 2014!
JC judged the English poetry entries which were excellent. She looks forward to the reveal this evening and offers congratulations to everyone who entered the contest.
“It takes guts to send a poem out into the world, to let your words be judged in a contest. To me, its akin to a parent who leaves her child at school or a summer day camp for the first time. Knots in stomach and all that!
This year’s entries were amazing. It’s always a challenge to chose the top six in each age category.”
The event begins at 7:00 PM.
