Contests for Creative Nonfiction
This list is pulled from the September 2008 Poets & Writers. Notice that several are from state art councils--you should check into what's available from your own state's council.
Although you may not be ready to submit for some of these opportunities, such as the Princeton fellowship, tuck these away for future reference. It's always good to know what's out there.
