The Island Life section is once again sponsoring a holiday fiction writing contest. The winners will receive a cash prize, and their stories will be published in the Christmas Eve and Christmas Day newspapers. We'll be recruiting experienced writers and editors in the community to judge the contest. The adult fiction does not need a holiday theme, but it should be inspiring or thought-provoking, in keeping with the season. Children's stories must be suitable for reading aloud.
Poetry is also acceptable.
Story must be original and completely your own work. Employees of the Honolulu Advertiser and Hawai ' i Newspaper Agency may not enter. Judges decisions are final. Postmarked Dec. 1. The Honolulu Advertiser, a division of Gannett Co .
