Vidahlia Press, Pubsoft Partner Up for Prison Writing Contest
Digital publishing software maker Pubsoft has teamed up with independent publisher Vidahlia Press to show that inmates can use their creativity for more than just making license plates.
Pubsoft, which is touting the partnership as its entry into the nonprofit sector, recently announced that its software will help promote a unique prison writing contest, dubbed INK, sponsored by Vidahlia Press. The contest, which will feature categories including Poetry, Fiction and Graphic Novel is open to anyone who has served time within the last year.
First-place winners in the contest will receive a year’s tuition for an online or correspondence fine arts or creative writing program while prizes for second-place are $250 and third-place is $100.
A spokesperson for the contest said that more than 2,000 federal and state correctional facilities across the nation are participating.
