Congratulations to Nicole whose stark and eloquent comic appeared on our blog a few months ago, for her recent winning of Ve'ahavta's 9th annual Creative Writing Contest. Out of 750 submissions, Nicole placed 4th which is an amazing accomplishment.
The submissions were judged by a list of writers and media personalities. In 2010, the judges included humanitarian and actress Mia Farrow, Steve Paikin of TVO, Wendy Mesley of CBC, and producer and television host George Tsioutsioulas. The winners receive various prizes, including a creative writing course at The University of Toronto and The University of British Columbia, along with the top cash prize donated by Kernel's Popcorn for $1500.
Below is Nicole's winning submission:
