The NSWA Annual Writing Contest closed March 15, 2025.
2025 winners and runners-up in fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and writing for children and young adults were presented during the North Shore Writers’ Festival on April 26, 2025, at the Lynn Valley District Library. Winning entries will be published in the NSWA’s digital literary anthology, Rivulets, on the NSWA website at the end of May.
We gratefully acknowledge the support of the City of North Vancouver through their Community Grant Program!

THANK YOU TO OUR 2025 JUDGES!
We appreciate the excellent job our panel of talented judges–Vi Hughes, Alexander Boldizar, Bill Arnott, and Sareh Farmand–did in reading and considering all the submissions!
