Poetry and Prose Competitions: The Cincinnati Review

The Cincinnati Review online submissions manager.

The Cincinnati Review invites submissions for the annual Robert and Adele Schiff Prose and Poetry Awards. One winning poem and prose piece (fiction or creative nonfiction) will be chosen for publication in our 2014 prize issue, and winning authors will receive $1000 each. All entries will be considered for publication in The Cincinnati Review.

RULES
Writers may submit up to 8 pages of poetry or 40 pages of prose, per entry. Previously published manuscripts, including works that have appeared online (in any form) will not be considered. There are no restrictions as to form, style, or content; all entries will be considered for publication. Simultaneous submissions are acceptable under the condition that you notify us if your manuscript is accepted elsewhere.

TO ENTER
Entry fee is $20, which includes a one-year subscription to The Cincinnati Review. We will be accepting submissions only through our online submission manager, so contestants will pay the fee through that system. Please do not include the writer’s name or any identifying information in the manuscript file, as submissions will be judged blindly. Instead, insert a cover letter with the writer’s name, mailing address, telephone number, email, and the title(s) of the work(s) submitted in the “comments” section of the online submission manager.

Note to international entrants: Our payment gateway requires you to enter a US state or territory as part of your address. Pick one at random—your payment will not be processed otherwise.
All entries will receive equal consideration.

SUBMISSION PERIOD
Submissions will be accepted through our online submission manager from June 1 to July 15.

Winners will be notified October 1, and an announcement will appear on our website and in the Winter 2014 issue. Winning entries will be published in the Summer 2014 issue.
