Paste launched a summer-themed writing contest this month in partnership with Biographile’s “That Summer” series. We asked you to think back on a summer that was pivotal in your life, one that remains memorable for being transformative in some way, big or small.
Little did we know, we’d receive hundreds of entries from across the globe. We were awed as we read about a man who had run away to join a fair as a mere teenager. We cheered as a young woman unabashedly described breaking up with an unfaithful boyfriend. And we mourned as dozens of you bared your souls in remembering the heartache of losing loved ones. We were truly honored to read your stories, and we thank you for sharing your memories with us.
When it came time for Paste and Biographile to choose a winner, it was no easy feat. But one woman’s entry about her father’s passing wowed us, and so it is with great pleasure that we announce the winner of the writing contest is Dina Honour for “An Otherwise Ordinary Day”!
