THE ADVOCATE VOL. 72 PART 1 JANUARY <strong>2014</strong><br />

71<br />

ANNOUNCING THE <strong>2014</strong> ADVOCATE<br />

SHORT FICTION COMPETITION<br />

ELIGIBLE CONTRIBUTORS<br />

Any person who is now, or has been, a member of the Law Society of British<br />

Columbia (including lawyers, judges and masters) or who is an articled<br />

student. Contest judges and the “staff” of the <strong>Advocate</strong> are ineligible to<br />

contribute.<br />

ELIGIBLE FICTION<br />

A fictional work, written in English, to a strict maximum of 2,500 words that<br />

deals, if only incidentally, with legal subject matter. For the <strong>2014</strong> competition<br />

(and in order to keep things challenging and interesting) the work must<br />

contain the following sentence: “I can ___________________ my bonbons<br />

depending on size and intricacy.” The blank in the sentence (which is a real<br />

phrase uttered in a law firm boardroom) may be filled in by the author. It<br />

may be a single word or several.<br />

The contributor must be the author of the work, which must be entirely<br />

original and must not ever have been published or submitted for publication<br />

or consideration in a writing competition elsewhere.<br />

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS<br />

The close of business on Friday, September 5, <strong>2014</strong>. Submissions will not be<br />

re turned, so authors should maintain file copies of their work.<br />

FORMAT FOR SUBMISSIONS<br />

Two double-spaced, typed manuscript copies, each with a separate cover<br />

sheet bearing the work’s title together with its author’s name, address, daytime<br />

telephone number and a word count. The author’s name should not<br />

appear anywhere on or in the manuscript itself, as all submissions will be<br />

judged anonymously, strictly on literary merit.<br />

ADDRESS FOR SUBMISSIONS<br />
