Submissions Requested for Paul Engle “Glory of the Senses” Contest

The 2015 Paul Engle “Glory of the Senses” contest is a project of the Iowa City UNESCO City of Literature organization. As you may know, Iowa City has been designated as one of eleven Cities of Literature in the World. One person celebrated in Iowa City is Paul Engle, the late long-time director of the University of Iowa’s Writer’s Workshop and co-founder of the UI’s International Writing Program. Without Engle’s entrepreneurial spirit and love of Iowa, the city may not have caught the eye of UNESCO and earned the designation.

We also seek to offer education opportunities. We know that the student writers of today are the communicators who will help to tell our story tomorrow.

The overall winner will receive one year of free tuition to the University of Iowa. Other top students will receive a $500 cash scholarship.

Please note that the essay contest deadline is May 15, 2015.
