Preterite's Annual Writing Contest Winners Announced

Preterite is the name of Cedar Crest College's literary club, open to students of all majors. Onyx is Preterite's annual publication for winners of its creative writing contesPreterite

Each year, Preterite recognizes exceptional student work in fiction, creative nonfiction, and poetry with its creative writing contest. All Cedar Crest students-undergraduate, SAGE, or graduate-are invited to submit their best writing. Submissions are accepted throughout the fall and early spring semesters.

Preterite members review and edit contest entries during the submission process (in which works are reviewed without student names being identified). Come spring, prizes are given in each category (fiction, nonfiction, and poetry) at the Writing Awards Ceremony, and the club publishes winning submissions in Onyx.
