Do you have the write stuff? Is it time to find out?

The annual Literary Awards Writing Competition, sponsored by the Tucson Festival of Books, is well underway.

Submissions will be judged in three categories: fiction, nonfiction and poetry. Cash prizes of $1,000, $500 and $250 will be awarded to the top three entries in each category.

In addition, those prize-winners will receive full scholarships to take part in a Masters Writing Workshop with book festival authors March 11-12 in Tucson.

Submissions must be received by midnight on Oct. 31.
