Expanding to include Japanese-language and ?? ??? ??? ??youth divisions, Little Tokyo Historical Society (LTHS) seeks fictional short stories for its second annual “Imagine Little Tokyo” writing contest. The deadline is Jan. 31, 2015.
The first-place winners of the English- and Japanese-language competitions will each receive a cash award of $600; the winner of the youth division (18 and younger) will get $400. The purpose of the contest is to raise awareness of Little Tokyo through a creative story that takes place there. The story has to be fiction and depict the current, past or future of Little Tokyo as part of Los Angeles.
“We had great success with our inaugural contest this year,” said Bill Watanabe, chair of the Imagine Little Tokyo Committee. “As there is obviously great interest in writing stories which celebrate our community here in Los Angeles, we wanted to expand the contest to include entries written in Japanese as well as encourage young people to participate.”
The winning stories will appear in The Rafu Shimpoand Discover Nikkei website. A public award ceremony and readings are also planned in 2015.
Financial supporters of the contest include Sansei Legacy, other organizations and individual donors.
