For the second year in a row, our weakness for slackers has won the day. Yes, we are extending the entry period for the 2015 Robert and Adele Schiff Awards by one week. Submissions will now close on Wednesday, July 22, at 11:59 p.m. EST. One poem and one prose piece (fiction or creative nonfiction) will be chosen for publication in our 2016 prize issue, and the two winners will each receive $1,000.
Since its inception in 2003, The Cincinnati Review has published many promising new and emerging writers as well as Pulitzer Prize winners and Guggenheim and MacArthur fellows. Poetry and prose from our pages have been selected to appear in the annual anthologies Best American Poetry, Best American Essays, New Stories from the South, Best American Short Stories, Best American Fantasy, Best American Mystery Stories, New Stories from the Midwest, and Best Creative Nonfiction.
