Kamloops writer Katherin Edwards has won first prize in the Okanagan Short Story Contest.
In addition to $500, Edwards wins a week’s residency at the Woodhaven Eco Culture Centre, a facility connected to the University of British Columbia Okanagan campus that hosts programs for artists.
Edwards’ story, Pellucidity, is a coming-of-age tale of a young woman confronting her mortality at a deep B.C. lake.
The contest is an annual event sponsored by the university’s faculty of creative and critical studies, the Central Okanagan Foundation and the Kelowna Capital News.
