Dear %%$first%%,

You’ve participated in Geist writing contests in the past, so we thought you might be interested in entering the 2015 Short Long-Distance Writing Contest.

Write a story, 500 words or less, fiction or non-fiction, that spans two or more Canadian time zones. This could mean a physical transition across time zones (like a road trip), or an implied transition between them (like a phone call). The details are up to you—get creative! For full details, examples of past-winners and instructions on how to enter, visit geist.com/long-distance.

You can win up to $500 and publication in Geist and on geist.com!

We want to see more of your writing! This isn’t your first time at the Geist rodeo, so you know what we’re looking for. There’s no time to lose, the deadline is Sept. 1, 2015. Put the coffee on, pick up your pen, oil your typewriter, or fire up your laptop and get writing!

Sincerely yours,
The Geist Team
