Literary Competitions 2022


The Federation of British Columbia Writers Literary Contests is an annual celebration of what we do and what we enjoy - writing. We invite Canadian poets and writers, especially those with ties to British Columbia and Yukon, to submit original, unpublished works.

There are four categories open for submission. A long list (top 20 in each genre) and short list (top 10 in each genre) will be announced in the fall. In addition to first place winners in each of the four genres, 40 writers (top 10 in each category) will have their pieces published in and receive copies of our annual anthology.

  • All submissions must be made online through Submittable.
  • The name of the entrant must not appear anywhere on the entry document. Entrants that do not meet this crucial criteria will not be submitted to readers for evaluation. (Please double check file names and headers/footers)

  • Work must be original and not previously published.
  • Entrants are asked to be cognizant of cultural appropriation.  An article outlining best practices can be found here
