About the Contest
Congratulations to our 2025 Fall into Fiction Contest winners! This September, we challenged local aspiring authors to pen verses read in 5 minutes or less (8000 characters max), and our community certainly delivered! Stories of all kinds were submitted and will be added to our growing local collection of short form literature published online through the Short Edition and BiblioBoard digital collections.
Prizes
Each winner will receive an assortment of goodies to help keep the words and creativity flowing, including books, games and writing supplies. Congratulations again, winners, and to all who participated! We look forward to reading more submissions in our next writing contest in the spring.
