ANNOUNCING THE WINNERS OF THE
20TH ANNUAL PALO ALTO WEEKLY 2005
20TH ANNUAL PALO ALTO WEEKLY 2005

It is our pleasure to bring you the winning entries in the Weekly's 20th Annual Short Story Contest. For the past two decades, we have published a staggering range of stories submitted by our readers. Comedy, tragedy, introspection, action -- the tone and style of the tales have never failed to enlighten and amuse. This year's selections are no different. From a decidedly different take on "The Exorcist" to the long-awaited answer to "How to Solve a Rubic's Cube," local writers have once again demonstrated the wealth of talent that exists on the Midpeninsula. We would like to thank all the contestants who entered this year's contest and invite the community to submit their works next year. |
