Brainstorm Poetry Contest
Beginning January 2, 2007 until March 23, 2006, NISA will be accepting entries for its 5th Annual BrainStorm Poetry Contest. Winners will receive monetary awards of $250, $150 and $75 for first, second and third prizes, respectively, and be published in the Spring 2006 edition of NISA's psychosocial literary magazine Open Minds Quarterly.
"It's a great opportunity for NISA to fundraise for Open Minds Quarterly, but the contest also supports consumer/survivors themselves through the monetary awards and publication," says editor Dinah Laprairie. "The annual contest also means a new opportunity for a NISA member to be administrator of the contest, increasing their occupational skills and experience, one of NISA's main aims."
Individuals who have experienced mental health difficulties or mental illness are encouraged to enter the contest with their best poems. The entry fee is $10.00 for up to three poems. Entries must arrive at NISA's office with both the fee and a completed entry form.
If you want to enter the contest, simply download the entry form from http://www.nisa.on.ca/ Be sure to read the included rules and regulations to make sure your poem is eligible.
