f you’re in danger of losing your edge, your mind, or your sense of humour this winter, why not try finding it again in the Winter Write-Off? Winners will receive gift certificates to local businesses—plus the adulation that follows when friends and neighbours see your piece printed in The Valley Voice!

Part Two of the competition begins February 11^th, and ends on February 24^th at midnight. This is a word coinage contest, for which there are three categories:

1) The feeling that the winter will never end (example: snowendinsight);

2) A name for what we’re all living through (example: damnpendic); and

3) The mental state engendered by watching too much news (example: Post-Trumpmatic-Stress-Disorder).

 To enter the Winter Write-Off, submit your entry electronically below, or directly via snail mail to Box 452, New Denver BC V0G 1S0. All entries will be rendered anonymous prior to judging. You may enter multiple categories; you may enter multiple times in each category.

ALL ENTRIES ARE DUE ON WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 27^TH. WINNERS WILL BE ANNOUNCED IN THE FEBRUARY 11^TH VALLEY VOICE.
