New Sculpture Prizes and Writing Awards Announced for Creatives
This week's opportunities include two national prizes for sculpture and a development prize for longform writing, open to novels and narrative non-fiction. Entry fees vary widely, and in visual arts, additional costs like shipping and documentation apply. Applicants must weigh costs against personal motivations such as meeting deadlines, gaining exposure to industry experts, or becoming a finalist.
