With a Special Call for New Affirmation Literature Affirmation is pleased to announce the sixth year of the Affirmation Writing Awards Contest! The contest rules and entry form are now online, at www.affirmation.org/writing_contest. The deadline for submitting entries is August 1, 2005. As is our custom, the winners will be announced at the Affirmation Conference in Denver. This year's contest has a special purpose. As always, we welcome non-fiction submissions of various kinds: letters, personal narratives, op/ed pieces, scholarly essays. In addition, this year's contest includes a special call for brochures and pamphlets that could be distributed as Affirmation literature. Over the years, Affirmation has produced now classic pamphlets such as Prologue, Homosexuality and Scripture, and All about Excommunication. As times have changed, new needs have arisen. Affirmation would like to use this year's contest to solicit new ideas for brochures and pamphlets on topics impacting GLBT Mormons today. Additional information about Affirmation's needs for new literature will appear in the April 2005 issue of Affinity. Note that while we are especially interested this year in brochures and pamphlets, all genres of non-fiction writing are eligible for an award. For half a decade now, the Affirmation Writing Awards Contest has recognized and promoted non-fiction writing on a variety of subjects important to members of the GLBT Mormon community. We look forward to another year of quality submissions! To see winning entries from previous years, visit www.affirmation.org/voices/award.shmtl.
