Historically, The Current tries to remain truly local to Revelstoke, however every once and a while there is an opportunity in an outside market where Revelstokians are welcome to participate and it is to the betterment of youth.
While this writing contest is not closed off to any age, being that it is about the written word I feel it is important for any aspiring writer to submit their story and receive the same chance of recognition as a someone in Salmon Arm!
Time is running out to enter the Askew’s Foods Word on the Lake Writing Contest. The deadline is midnight, February 28, 2018.
