Writers traveling to the Pacific Northwest Writers Association Conference in Bellevue, Washington, and Ooligan Press’s Write to Publish in Portland, Oregon—the oldest and youngest conferences, respectively, in the region—are offered the chance to forge a closer connection with publishing professionals.
Find details about every creative writing competition—including poetry contests, short story competitions, essay contests, awards for novels, grants for translators, and more—that we’ve published in the Grants & Awards section of Poets & Writers Magazine during the past year. We carefully review the practices and policies of each contest before including it in the Writing Contests database, the most trusted resource for legitimate writing contests available anywhere.
