Bananagrams® Contest - First Entry!

  Newport Review’s editors are excited to announce that we have had our first entry in the 2010 Bananagrams® Writing Contest. As promised, the first writer to send in her entry to the contest will receive a special thank-you package from Newport Review, including a book by one of our published authors, a matted print by one of our featured photographers and a Newport Review bumper sticker.

Our fortunate first entrant is Rebecca Webber of Cranston, RI. She submitted a creative nonfiction story for her entry.  Congratulations, Rebecca, and good luck in the contest!

If you haven’t submitted your entry yet, please take a look at our Bananagrams® writing prompt and take the plunge! $500 in prizes await the winners.

Remember, you can enter with poetry, prose or both. We have extended the deadline to the end of September to accommodate as many writers as possible. If you’re a writer, encourage your writing friends to enter; if you’re a teacher, encourage your students (the contest is open to all writers ages 13 and up). It’s a great opportunity to play with words for fun AND profit!
