2019 Orange Rose Contest

The Orange Rose Contest is entering its 36th year! This storied contest has in its roster many finalists who are now published.

Why has the ORC enjoyed this level of success? It’s in large part due to the exceptional judges, both first round published author and final editor/agent judges, and their comprehensive score sheets.

Charlotte Lobb | The Orange Rose Contest | A Slice of Orange — Charolott Lobb

The top prize, the coveted Charlotte Award, is given in honor of long-time OCC member Charlotte Lobb, who passed away in 2013. Charlotte was a tireless volunteer and supporter of this chapter and its members, as well as a multi-published author of over 60 books. She was known for her generosity of spirit and great sense of humor. It is fitting that we present this top award to an unpublished writer in honor of Charlotte’s mentorship and encouragement of fledgling writers. One more thing, Charlotte herself was an Orange Rose finalist back in the day.

The contest opens January 15, 2019 and closes April 30, 2019.

RWA-OCC/EVA/LARA/SD members $25

All other RWA members $35
