    The Chestatee Review, the University of North Georgia's (UNG) student literary magazine, has announced the winners of its annual writing contest.

     The Review holds a writing contest each fall semester where students are encouraged to contribute outstanding, original work in five categories: poetry, short story, one-act play, formal essay, and creative nonfiction. Winners in each genre are published in the Review and awarded $100 for first place, $50 second place, and $25 third place.

    First- and second-place winners in each category are automatically entered into the Southern Literary Festival's writing contest. Runners-up in each category have their work published in a special digital edition.

    "The annual writing contest is judged by professional poets and writers outside of UNG, and in addition to their glowing award citations, many of them asked if they could split first place or include an honorable mention, which speaks to the quality of UNG's student writers," said Ezekiel Black, lecturer of English and faculty advisor for the Review.
