Limp Wrist Scholarship Contest

Limp Wrist, an e-zine with queer sensibility, is offering a small scholarship to a LGBT High School Senior via a poetry contest. Even more exciting than the small scholarship is that the scholarship recipient wins a spot at the 2009 Juniper Summer Writers Institute. A huge thanks to the talented poet Dara Wier for making Juniper possible. I hope your Pride organization can find a way to share this exciting news!
