Événement « Poésie et prose » – Concours d’essais

The 2026 Non‑Fiction Contest, hosted by EVENT Magazine, invites writers of poetry and prose to submit original, unpublished manuscripts for consideration. The contest is open to all writers, with a special discounted entry fee for Douglas College students.
