At Seattle Pacific University, we’re learning to engage the culture, with the ultimate goal of bringing about positive change in the world through the gospel of Jesus Christ. In the pages of Response, we offer glimpses of the many and varied ways in which that mission is being fulfilled. But we know that there is much more to discover, many stories that have yet to be told. You may have observed some of them. You may have lived some of them.
Response invites you to submit an essay (750–1,000 words) that conveys in some way — whether through a personal story, investigative reporting, or some other form of creative nonfiction — the theme of “engaging the culture, changing the world.”
The winning entry will be featured in the Winter 2008 magazine, and the writer will receive a $250 prize.
Deadline: August 1, 2007
Send your essay to yourresponse@spu.edu, or mail it to Response, Seattle Pacific University, 3307 Third Avenue West Suite 116, Seattle, Washington 98119.
Please include your name, address, email, and daytime phone number when you send your entry.
Competition Rules
Each entrant may submit one essay to the competition. Essays must be original, unpublished works.
Your entry must be accompanied by your name, address, email, and daytime phone number in your email.
The competition is open to anyone, except Seattle Pacific University employees and their immediate families (spouses or children).
Entrants will receive an email acknowledgement that their entry has been received. The winner will be notified by December 1, 2007.
