Short Fiction Competition: Stony Brook Short Fiction Prize

Stony Brook Short Fiction Prize for College Undergraduates

Eligibility

Only undergraduates enrolled full time in United States and Canadian universities and colleges for the academic year 2012-13 are eligible. This Prize has traditionally encouraged submissions from students with an Asian background, but we urge all students to enter.

Guidelines

Entrant's identity and academic institution will not be revealed to judges.
Submissions of no more than 7,500 words should be typed on 8.5-by-11-inch paper.
Include one cover sheet with the title of the work only. On a second cover sheet, include your name, permanent address, telephone number and email address. Do not include your name on any pages of your story.
All entries must be accompanied by proof of current undergraduate enrollment, such as a photocopy of a grade transcript, a class schedule or payment receipt showing your full-time status.
The institution's name and address must be clear. No fax or electronic submissions will be accepted.
Manuscripts will not be returned. Submission assumes the right of Stony Brook to publish the winning story on its Web site.
The winning short story will automatically be considered for publication in The Southampton Review, the literary journal published by the Stony Brook Southampton MFA program in Writing and Literature.

Deadline

March 1, 2013. All applications postmarked after the deadline will be returned unopened. The winner and runners-up will be notified in June 2013.
