17th Annual
Paper Gardens Literary Contest
Thank you to everyone who submitted literary work to the 2010 Paper Gardens competition! We had an overwhelming turnout this year totaling 424 submissions! We were thrilled to have McMinnville, Newberg, Dundee, Dayton, Amity, Yamhill, and Carlton residents represented in this year’s competition.
Works are currently with judge Lex Runciman, and winning submissions will be chosen shortly. Due to the large number of applicants, please be patient over the next few months as we begin to send out notifications. We will try to be as prompt as humanly possible!
The Paper Gardens Celebration will be held at 6:00 p.m. on the evening of May 18th at the Oregon Olive Mill at Red Ridge Farms. 5700 NE Breyman Orchards RD, Dayton OR 97114. Chapbooks will be available, and winners will have a chance to read their work, meet the judge, and mingle with other literary folk.
Once again, thank you to everyone who submitted work to Paper Gardens. I am always thrilled to see so much budding literary talent in Yamhill County.
Cheers,
Tayler Brisbin

Terroir (terr whah) refers to the site- and region-specific characteristics of a wine. Climate, soil and landscape define the wine grapes’ character. Like the vines that line the hillsides of Yamhill County, our words take on the qualities of place, growing rich in the soils of life experiences.
The Terroir Creative Writing Festival brings Oregon writers together for a day of celebrating this special place, as well as the joys of writing and books.
Workshop leaders and speakers include: Larry Colton, Barbara Drake, Molly Gloss, Ellie Gunn, Ursula K. Le Guin, Carlos Reyes, Lex Runciman, Bill Siverly, Laura Whitcomb and Marilyn Worrix.
