The University Art Museum is preparing to open its annual Writer's Eye writing competition Oct. 6.
The program invites University students along with adults and elementary and high school students to submit original works of prose or poetry inspired by selected works of arts on display in the museum's collection and special exhibits.
The competition is organized by the museum's docents and judged by local teachers and writers, journalist and fiction writer Mariflo Stevens and retired University English Prof. George Garrett.
Winning entries will be announced in the spring and Howell Press will publish an anthology of the first-, second- and third-place winners.
