We are pleased to announce the winners of our first annual Wind & Water Writing Contest! We invited writers from the Quinte region to submit their best work in their favourite genre. This year’s theme was Exploring.
The winner was chosen from dozens of entries in a wide variety of genres, yet Sulzenko’s piece stood out for eloquent use of imagery, a clear and confident voice, and unique line breaks that made for a stunning and powerful read. Sulzenko’s creativity perfectly captured our theme of Exploring, creating an image that speaks to anyone familiar with the County and nature itself. JC Sulzenko has published poetry widely, in national and local publications. She was shortlisted for Arc magazine’s Poem of the Year award and has published in many other literary magazines.

The longlist of nine works was selected by writer Kelly S. Thompson, and a jury of literary professionals voted to select the winners. In 2019 these professionals were playwright Marianne Ackerman, publisher Leigh Nash of Invisible Publishing, and writer Sarah Selecky. Please note that judging was blind and that winners were chosen based solely on the opinion of the jury. Winner names released on May 10, 2019.
The contest is closed for 2019. The 2020 deadline will be announced this winter.
