Shuzia is now accepting Biblical and Christian based entries for her 2020 Shuzia Creative Writing Contest. A cash prize of $250 will be awarded to the winners.
The stories in the Scriptures cut across time and place, across cultures, and we see ourselves in them. This is because a larger part of the Scriptures is a journal of the human experience.
And so, in this light, we are calling on writers to retell these stories through a contemporary gaze. How would it feel to be David in 2020? How would the resurrection of Jesus have been received in this age of #tags and memes? Can we reimagine Jesus’ encounter with the woman at the well in a time when issues like race, diversity and gender roles are hot topics?
This is a call to be creative with your favourite Bible story or characters, and to give these stories a befitting setting in this modern world.
