Mark your calendars for Sunday, September 27th, 2009! The Word On The Street Book and Magazine festival will once again take over Queen's Park to welcome book and magazine publishers, authors, artists, songwriters and the citizens of Toronto and the GTA to our biggest festival yet. Since The Word On The Street is hosting its 20th festival this year, we want to share the celebration with the community that has helped us build the one day festival into the biggest book event in Canada.
Of course no anniversary is complete without a trip back through time to highlight memories of past festivals. The Word On The Street would like to invite past festival guests and visitors to play a key role in the celebration.
So here's the lowdown:
The Word On The Street Toronto is looking for sincere, short, unique messages that illuminate the varied experiences of festival attendees over the last 20 years. Submissions should be 200 words or less and the deadline for acceptance is Friday, May 29, 2009. If we use your submission we may require a head shot to accompany it. Please email your submission in a Word file or in the body of your email to toronto@thewordonthestreet.ca and include your contact information. Anonymous submissions will not be considered. We will contact those whose reminiscence is being used to confirm their participation. We thank everyone who sends us something, however it will be impossible to acknowledge every submission or use every submission.
