CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
Psychiatric Times’ Writing Contest!
We are seeking your real-life story that can move, teach, and inspire other psychiatrists.
We invite you to share your story of a memorable experience or encounter with one of your patients (fictionalized so that the patient cannot be recognized) that you believe ultimately made you a better psychiatrist.
Your story could win:
• Glory and fame! (Your essay, headshot, and bio published in Psychiatric Times and posted on PsychiatricTimes.com)
• $200 (first prize)!
$150 (second prize)!
$100 (third prize)!
Here are a few ideas to get your creative juices flowing (but don’t let these limit your thinking).
Consider a time when you:
• Thought you were in over your head
• Made the wrong choice
• Made a hard choice
• Connected with a patient in a unique way
• Made an unexpected emotional connection with a patient
• Treated a patient in an unorthodox-but ultimately successful-way
How to enter:
• Send us your story in a Word document (800 to 1200 words).

• Email your essay to Editor@PsychiatricTimes.com and put “ENTRY” in the subject head.
