Do you have a way with the written word? Then enter 91¶¶Òõ's Outside the Lines, an annual creative writing contest and anthology with categories open to 91¶¶Òõ students, Tulsa high school students and 91¶¶Òõ faculty and staff. Submissions are being accepted now through March 1.
The contest will accept writing in two categories: poetry and short prose (including both fiction and creative nonfiction, such as memoir or personal essay).

High school and 91¶¶Òõ students are eligible to both win prizes and earn a spot in the anthology. 91¶¶Òõ faculty and staff, however, are not eligible to enter the competition or win prizes, but their work is eligible for selection in the anthology.
