The Manada Conservancy in Dauphin County is now accepting entries to its Short Story Writing Contest.  The deadline for entries is May 15.

Aspiring writers, gardeners, naturalists, and fellow nature lovers are invited to submit a short story of 1,500 words or less, which expresses a personal or fictional account of a “backyard habitat” scenario. 

Perhaps a wildlife encounter or gardening experience has inspired you.  Use your stories to help inspire others to choose native plants, support pollinators and other local wildlife, or spend more time outdoors.

Submissions, either fiction or non-fiction, must be original and unpublished and will be judged on style, content, and clarity. The winning entries, one from each category,  will be presented on the Conservancy’s website, included in their summer newsletter, and submitted to local newspapers for possible publication. 

Winners will be notified by July 5. No purchase or payment of any kind is necessary to enter or win this contest.

Entries must include the writer’s name, Phone number, Email and Mailing address, Title, Category: Fiction or Non-Fiction.  Submit to: Manada Conservancy, P.O. Box 25, Hummelstown, PA  17036 or send by email to: office@manada.org with “Backyard Habitat” in the the subject line.

Reminder: 18th Annual Native Plant Sale April 28.
