The Orange County Writing Contest is held every year in different cities of Orange County in which young and old writers enlighten, compete, and critique on the past, present, and future. The top most notable writers are chosen by a panel of prominent literay figures and are presented with an award for their insightful work. The contest is always a full house of intent listeners to hear the young and old voices of the generations. From poets to storytellers the experience is always treasuring even if your piece is not the most worthy of the panel.

Your dress on the rug,
And you in my bed,
Sweet present of the present,
Cool of night,
Warmth of my life.”

—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
