Enter the “Hemingway Writers Challenge”

Ken Burns and the New Hampshire Writers’ Project are inviting writers to embrace their creativity by participating in the Hemingway Writers Challenge. Submissions will be accepted from February 19 until March 14, 2021 at 5pm.

It is Robert Wheeler’s book; Hemingway’s Paris: A Writer’s City in Words and Pictures that has inspired the challenge with the photo entitled “Place de la Concorde”. Writers are asked to submit a total of 200 words and include the two words Hemingway might have used to describe the city of Paris where he and his first wife, Hadley Richardson, lived in the 1920’s.  Those words are "my love".

The New Hampshire Writers’ Project will accept all submissions at its website nhwritersproject.org  and judge the winning entry. The winner will be announced at the April 1^st HEMINGWAY online event and we’re pleased to announce that winning submission will be read by actor, Christopher Savage. The winner will receive $150 and a free membership to New Hampshire Writers’ Project. Learn More

The new Ken Burns documentary HEMINGWAY airs on New Hampshire PBS on April 5, 6, 7 at 8pm.
