First-prize winners will receive free registration to attend Write! Canada, a value of more than $400. Entries must be received by January 15, 2011.

The topic for the 2011 contest is "Changing the World with Words," the theme for the next Write! Canada conference, to be held in Guelph, Ontario, from June 16 to 18, 2011.

Contest submissions may be in any writing format, including short stories, poems, scripts, and nonfiction articles. Independent judges who are experienced writers and editors will evaluate the entries and provide helpful feedback.

This contest is designed to encourage and recognize new and aspiring writers. For the purposes of this competition, "unpublished" means you have never been paid for something you have written.

Prizes are available in three age categories: teenagers (ages 14 to 19); young adults (ages 20 to 39); and adults (age 40 and over).

First prize: Registration for Write! Canada Christian Writers' Conference, June 16 to 18, 2011, in Guelph, Ontario (value more than $400).
Second prize: A $100 gift certificate for The Word Guild, which may be used for conference registration, membership, etc.
