Contest to win two tickets to see comedian David Sedaris live at the Morris April 19

It’s no joke. A chance to win an evening with David Sedaris is among us.

A writing contest is being offered at IUSB and is open to the community. Two lucky winners will be given two tickets to see Sedaris on Monday, April 19 at the Morris Performing Arts Center.

Sedaris is an a NPR humorist and the author of the best selling novel “Naked, Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim and When You Are Engulfed in Flames” said Jessica Felton, in an email interview.

“We decided to put a contest together as a way to give local writers the opportunity to showcase their work,” said Felton.

With the password, “DAVID” students will also be able to purchase tickets for $25.

The essay or short story must be similar to the humorous style of David Sedaris and be culled from life.

One entry of 1500 words or less per person must be submitted by Monday April 12 to iusbcreativewriting@gmail.com to be considered for the contest, said Kelcey Parker, assistant professor of English at Indiana University South Bend.

Winners will be notified by April 16 by email and the winning essays will be published on IUSB’s creative writing blog, http://iusbcreativewriting.wordpress.com/.
