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.
Famous quotes containing the words orange, county, writing and/or contest:
“A hook shot kisses the rim and
hangs there, helplessly, but doesn’t drop
and for once our gangly starting center
boxes out his man and times his jump
perfectly, gathering the orange leather
from the air like a cherished possession”
—Edward Hirsch (b. 1950)
“In the County Tyrone, in the town of Dungannon,”
—Unknown. The Old Orange Flute (l. 1)
“For me, writing something down was the only road out.”
—Anne Tyler (b. 1941)
“Another danger is imminent: A contested result. And we have no such means for its decision as ought to be provided by law. This must be attended to hereafter.... If a contest comes now it may lead to a conflict of arms. I can only try to do my duty to my countrymen in that case. I shall let no personal ambition turn me from the path of duty. Bloodshed and civil war must be averted if possible. If forced to fight, I have no fears from lack of courage or firmness.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
