Aloha Shorts is soliciting readers for nominations of their favorite poems or stories from the last 30 years of Bamboo Ridge. All nominations will be read and considered by the Aloha Shorts co-producers and we will select a number to be performed at a taping in spring 2010.

Nominations must have been published by Bamboo Ridge Press. Readers must email their submission (the title and author of the piece) to: alohashorts@gmail.com. The issue in which the submission appeared is appreciated, but not required. Deadline for submissions is December 31, 2009.

Aloha Shorts is a locally produced radio program of writings from Bamboo Ridge Press performed by Hawai‘i’s actors. The shows tape before a live audience on the first Sunday of every month and are broadcast every Tuesday at 6:30pm on Hawai‘i Public Radio’s KIPO 89.3 FM. Tapings and broadcasts are supported in part by the Hawai‘i Council for the Humanities. Learn more about this Hawai‘i Public Radio program at www.hawaiipublicradio.org for more information.
