for writers interested in producing articles for the Culture 2017 magazine.
Two Florida Keys writers will be selected and paid a freelance fee of $1,000 each.
The fee will cover research, writing, related photography and any
necessary revising (based on recommendations from the committee) of an
article of approximately 1,200 words. Articles assigned will be factual,
informational and primarily designed to introduce visitors to the
art, culture and heritage of the Florida Keys.
The selected topics that writers may choose from are:
Characters in the Keys - Profiles
of creative and inspiring individuals from the 5 different regions and
"art genres" in the Keys and how they contribute to the uniqueness of
the Cultural Community. The many arts and cultural events celebrate
local personalities, island traditions and unique natural attributes.
Authentic Florida - An
overview of the many and varied Florida Keys' State Parks, Museums and
hidden gems that one might discover only in the Florida Keys. Cultural
