It’s June, which means pools are open, you can visit your favorite soft-serve ice cream place, and The Cincinnati Review is accepting submissions for the Robert and Adele Schiff Awards! Send us your best short fiction, essays, and poetry (after you read the submission guidelines, of course!). Three winners (one each in fiction, literary nonfiction, and poetry) will receive $1,000 and publication in our Spring 2022 issue, and all entrants will be considered for publication.

Your $20 contest fee includes a free one-year subscription to the magazine (all international entrants will receive a digital subscription).

Make sure to keep your name and identifying information out of the file you submit to our Submission Manager, and have the page limits in mind (8 pages max for poetry, 40 for fiction, 20 for literary nonfiction).

Happy official start to summer!
