Show Cash Prizes Await Utah Writing Contest Utahns will have an opportunity to "break into print" and buy War Bonds with the prize money according to an announcement of a writers' contest being sponsored by the Utah Department of Publicity Pub-licity and Industrial Development in cooperation with the League of Utah Writers. Commissioner H. J. Plumhof in making the announcement stated that $100 in cash will be awarded to the writers of the three best stories having some specific theme about Utah. First prize will be $50; second prize $30; and third prize, $20. The articles which may be of any length, will be judged by a board of experienced editors and teachers soon after the closing date June 30, 1943. "There is a great fund of excellent ex-cellent story material in Utah which should find a permanent place on the printed page," said Mr. Plumhof. "In addition to the good Utah stories which we hope to obtain in this contest it is quite possible that we may uncover some truly fine writers," he said. The Department of Publicity and Industrial Development which is in contact with motion picture producers, pro-ducers, will place suitable entries in the hands of Hollywood film companies, it was said. |
