The deadline to enter the writing contest for the annual Cochise Community Creative Writing Celebration is Feb. 28.

Writers who register for the Celebration, to be held at the end of March, can enter the writing contest in three categories: poetry, short story and creative nonfiction. Authors may submit multiple entires for a $5 fee per entry.

Entries are judged by the presenters who lead the Celebration’s workshops: authors Ann Garvin and Erec Toso, publishers from Torrey House Press and poet James Jay. Writing contest winners are announced at the Celebration on March 28-29 and their work is published in Mirage Literary and Arts Magazine, produced by Cochise College.
