===============================================
Black Warrior Review's Third-Ever Fiction and Poetry Contest
Open May 1, 2007- October 1, 2007
The THIRD time's a charm and this year's contest is no exception.
The First Place Winner in each category will receive $1,000 and
Publication in Spring 2007!
Guest Judges this year are Dean Young (poetry) and Josh Russell (fiction).
Send your entry to:
Fiction Contest OR Poetry Contest
Black Warrior Review
Box 862936
Tuscaloosa, AL 35486
The Black Warrior Review will only consider previously unpublished
work.
Finalists in each category will receive notation in the Spring 2007
issue and are also considered for publication.
Each entry must include name, phone number, and email on cover sheet
only, as well as SASE and reading fee.
The Reading Fee is $15 per short story (up to 7500 words) and $15 per
group of up to 3 poems. Make checks payable to The University of
Alabama.
All contestants will also receive a complimentary one-year
subscription. That's a whole dollar cheaper than ordering by
conventional means. It's a deal, it's a steal, it's the sale of the
century!
All entries must be postmarked by October 1, 2007.
Thanks for your interest and good luck. We look forward to your
submission!
