Writers: Polish up your best poems, stories, and creative nonfiction, because we’re gearing up to read entries for the 2012 Robert and Adele Schiff Prizes in Prose and Poetry. One winning poem and one prose piece (fiction or creative nonfiction) will be chosen for publication in our 2013 prize issue. The entry fee of $25 includes a year-long subscription.

Submissions will be accepted in June and July; all entries will be considered for publication. For complete contest guidelines, please go here.

While we’ve accepted postal entries in the past (and will continue to do so this year), stay tuned–we’re in the process of setting up our website to receive submissions and entry fees through our submission manager, so we’ll update the guidelines accordingly when we know more.

We look forward to reading your entries this summer! And don’t forget: the reading period for non-contest submissions ends on May 31.
