The Eden Mills Writers’ Festival was founded in 1989 and has taken place annually since then. Although it started out as the fulfillment of Governor General Award winner Leon Rooke’s personal vision, the Festival has matured and expanded over the years becoming a nationally acclaimed and widely respected literary event that still maintains a small “footprint.”
The Eden Mills Writers’ Festival Literary contest is open internationally to new and modestly published writers, who are invited to submit a short story (2500 words max.), poetry collection (of 5 poems or less), or one-act play. The best entry in each category will win a $250 prize.
