2020 Our Rossmoor Fiction Writing Contest

2020 Our Rossmoor Fiction Writing Contest
2020 Our Rossmoor Fiction Writing Contest

For ten, almost-consecutive years, Rossmoor residents have captivated our imaginations with fictional stories about Rossmoor and Rossmoor characters who have fallen in love, returned from war, discovered new friendships, uncovered Ross Cortese’s dead body or buried treasure, and recounted the backstory of our street names.

The years 2009 to 2019 have given rise to budding writers, and creativity has meandered our neighborhood boulevards. This year the Rossmoor Homeowners Association is proud to continue our popular Our Rossmoor Fiction Writing Contest – the 10th in our almost-annual, yearly contest.

Time to dust off your typewriters, dig into your imagination, clear as pace in your favorite writing corner, and put your stories to paper. The contest is open to any Rossmoor resident with a yarn to spin and a tale begging to be told. Don’t think you have to be a professional writer to enter – simply let your imagination loose and see where it takes you.

Topic Requirements: Entries should have a Rossmoor theme of some type: either placed in Rossmoor or about characters who come from Rossmoor. Will this year’s winning story be about a crooked government official who approves a dangerous bridge serving Rossmoor residents in exchange for a bribe? Or about the challenge of a big match for a Rossmoor youth on one of our parks? soccer fields? Or perhaps about a soldier serving his country far from home and dreaming back to his days in Rossmoor? Or maybe even a thriller with a nod to The DaVinci Code, outlining the meaning behind Rossmoor’s quirks?

The winner of the contest will receive a $200 VISA gift card. The runner-up will win a$100 gift certificate, and the author of the third-place story will get a$50 gift certificate, both from local eateries. All writers will have their stories published on this Our Rossmoor website.

All awards courtesy of the Rossmoor Homeowners Association. Even if you don’t win, it’s bound to be challenging and fun, and all entrants will be invited to an Our Rossmoor sponsored picnic lunch at some point this summer.

Directions:

  • Entries can be no longer than 1,000 words.
  • Open to residents age 16 -116.
  • This year’s deadline is July 1.
  • Submit your stories through the website here or by regular mail to:

Our Rossmoor Fiction Writing Contest
Rossmoor Homeowners Association
P.O. Box 5058, Rossmoor, CA 90721-5058
