Writers Competition Awards to Stream June 26

COEUR d’ALENE — The awards ceremony for the 2020 Julie Meier Writers Competition at the Coeur d’Alene Public Library, will live stream on the library’s main Facebook page — www.facebook.com/CDALibrary — at 6 p.m. Friday.

This year’s awards ceremony was moved online due to the closure of the library’s meeting rooms and distancing requirements related to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the upper level of the library is now open to browse and check out items.

The writers competition, in its 31st year, is for fiction and nonfiction prose submitted by age groups ranging from kindergarten to adult. All entries in the competition are also bound in books to be added to the library’s collection.

Funding for prizes, $100 for first, $50 for second, and $25 for third, is provided by the Coeur d’Alene Kiwanis Club, the Friends of the Library, and the library Foundation.
