Reasons why I'm going to apply for Intersection for the Arts' Jackson and Phelan Awards (and why you should, too):
1) One is limited to writers born in California, the other to writers living in Northern California or Nevada. All of us qualify for at least one of those.
2) They're free to enter, with a $2,000 award.
3) They're limited to young writers (20-35) with previously unpublished work.
4) I suspect that, because of the emphasis on California writers, those of us writing about California have an advantage.
5) They're not confined to any genre (anything from poetry to plays is fair game), so I don't have to decide whether or not my submission counts as poetry.
6) And did I mention that they're free?
