"The Kent District Library (Grand Rapids) is hosting the 1st annual Michigan Short Story Contest (called Write Michigan, as you probably guessed). The contest is broken down into two categories: 17 & under, and 18 & up. Entries for adults are $10, for teens it's free. There's a 3,000 word limit and the winning entrant in each category receives 250 bucks. Entries are due by November 30, 2012. For more info, check out the Write Michigan website or look over their brief info page."
(Stolen, I admit it, from the Westland Library.  Sorry I didn't see it earlier.)
