The top three pieces were awarded prizes in each of three categories, and in two of the three, there were honorable mentions. In the category of poetry, contestants could enter up to six poems. Each poem was judged individually as a separate entry. Adam Wagner won first prize for his poem “A Soft Death to the Pumpkin Carver Neva- Comes.” “Little Old Woman La Viejita,” by Maria Kirwin won second place and the third-place prize went to Eric Day for “Pygmalion Now and Then.” Three honorable mentions were awarded in poetry. They include: R.W. Jagdonik for “Where to Plant,” Robert Hibberd, “For every Man who was ever my Father,” and Christopher Haberman, “The Nurse That Held Me.” In creative non-fiction, entrants were allowed to enter one or two pieces of original work. Judy Anderson was awarded first place for her piece, ’’Calla Lillies.” “Making Way,” by Jessica Just, took the second-place spot, while third place was given to Robin Bruce’s “When There Was an East and a West.” Two honorable mentions were awarded in creative non fiction to “Freeway Adventure,” by Shelly Burck, and “The Ath letic Supporters!,” by Donna Potratz. The category of fiction was allowed up to two entries per contestant, and the top three pieces received prizes. No honorable mentions were awarded in this category. Wagner’s “Me and Honey” won first place. “Baby Gator,” by Stella Jenkins Lillicrop, took second, and third place was awarded to Amy Davis for “Percival.” “There were really excel lent entries - especially in poetry. There were more good writers than I’ve ever seen at one time in this school. All the categories were good,” said Allen Widerburg, English in structor and writing contest co ordinator. Each piece was read by three judges who did not know the identity of the author. They read all entries independently, then collectively chose the winners. The judges all either have a degree in English, or are writers themselves. John Hooley, assistant dean; Gail Miller, who is in charge of CCC’s night programs; and Claudia O’Driscoll, who works in the library, judged this year’s contest. “It was a lot of hard work for the judges to read all of the en tries. Many good pieces did not get prizes, but I hope they (the writers) go on to re-enter their work, or at least keep on writ ing,” Widerburg said. To enter the contest, the contestant had to have been a registered student sometime dur ing the 1992-93 school year. Widerburg encourages stu dents to get involved in the writ ing contests, or at the very least to sign up for a writing class. “Many people (former con test winners) have gone on to be a big success,” Widerburg said. According to Widerburg, several former students who had won writing contests have gone on to win higher awards, and some have put their creative writing talents to use on their own literary magazines. “I want to encourage stu dents to get involved in creative writing or in the Writers’ Club or in the twice monthly readings Kate Gray (English instructor) puts on. Some of the best crea tive writing teachers in Oregon are at our school. It’s a good place to study creative writing,” Widerburg said.
