Fee waivers for CBC literary contests

Surely CBC can afford not to charge this ludicrously high fee?

In the name of fairness, and an even field please allow some entries from those who can't afford to enter otherwise.

Please institute a potential fee waiver for all CBC Literary Contests

Why shouldn't it be free to enter — for everyone?

I think this a terrific initiative and CBC would be making an even greater contribution to the arts by taking down what is surely a barrier for many writers whose work might otherwise shine.

Keep on keeping on!

I must agree - some very talented artists are not able to pay to submit!

I agree with this petition

Application fees make things that are already difficult more so. Consider waiving the fees especially for something that represents a marginalized group.

Incorporating an entry fee waiver for financially-challenged writers for CBC Literary Contests would be a great policy, particularly apt for Canada's citizen-supported broadcaster. It would be inclusive in every sense of the word, which I understood to be CBC's mandate.

Make it free for those who can't afford the fee. CBC should support those artists.

come on, people.

This is the only fair thing to do! Every author deserves a chance.
