Fiction or Poetry Contest: Black Warrior Review

The Fifth-Ever Fiction and Poetry Contests

Black Warrior Review is proud to announce the Fifth-Ever Poetry and Fiction Contests. This year's contests will be judged by Larissa Szporluk and Brian Evenson, respectively.

All entries must be postmarked or submitted online by October 1, 2009. Winners in each genre will receive $1,000 and publication in the spring/summer issue.

Send your entry to:

Fiction Contest or Poetry Contest
Black Warrior Review
Box 862936
Tuscaloosa, AL 35486

Each entry must include name, phone number, and email on cover sheet only, as well as SASE and reading fee.

Reading Fee: $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 $1 less than ordering by conventional means.
