Writers encouraged to get creative juices in ‘motion’ for BART short story competition

A BART short story contest, “BART Lines,” opens June 1 to authors ages 18 and up with a mailing address in one of the five counties where BART operates: San Francisco, San Mateo, Alameda, Contra Costa and Santa Clara.

The contest will be part of BART’s 50th anniversary celebration and is meant to highlight the literary voices that make the Bay Area unique, diverse and creative. Authors will have the opportunity to submit very short stories of 7,500 characters or less on the theme of “motion.”
