Today The Georgina Centre for Arts & Culture is inviting new & published writers to participate in an exciting event with renowned Canadian photographer, Tom Zsolt.
Writers are asked to choose one photograph from seven of Tom Zsolt’s photographs, as their inspiration to write an accompanying story and submit to the contest. Written pieces can be fictional prose, poetry or non-fiction. The contest winners will be recorded and will be part of the “audio visual” installation this spring. There will be a Gala in April where writers will be invited to read their pieces at the live event. The first-place winner will win $100 and receive a 24”x36” giclee print of an Andrea Macleod painting. The top three contestants will have their choice of one photograph, signed by Tom Zsolt, of one of the exhibit’s seven images. Everyone who submits their work will receive a free one-year membership to The Georgina Centre for Arts & Culture. The seven photographs in the exhibit are show below and are available on our website.
