National student literary contest judges to give reading

EUGENE, OR – Poet Elizabeth Woody, playwright Paul Calandrino, and essayist Laurie Lynn Drummond will give a free, public reading on Friday, May 21, at 4 p.m. in the Blue Door Theater at Lane Community College, building 6, main campus, 4000 E. 30th Avenue, Eugene.
The three writers are judging entries in the national League for Innovation Student Literary Competition coordinated this year by Lane. Also judging but not visiting is novelist Diana Abu-Jaber.
The annual competition offers contests in poetry, short story, essay, and one-act plays for students at League colleges. Each college holds a local contest and forwards first-place winners for national judging. National winners are announced in June and receive cash prizes plus publication in the League for Innovation student literary magazine distributed in the fall.
Lane English instructor Johnnie Mazzocco is coordinating the event under the theme of "Synchronicity." For more information, contact her at (541) 463-3399 or mazzoccoj@lanecc.edu or go online at 2011sitearchive.lanecc.edu/studentlitcompetition.
Lane is an equal opportunity/affirmative action institution.
