Writing Competitions: Hidden River Arts

Two of our competitions are deadlining November 15, 2017: The Blue Mountain Novel Award and the Hidden River Review Short Play Award.

The Blue Mountain Novel Award

Hidden River Arts offers $1,000 and publication on our Hidden River Press imprint of Hidden River Publishing to an original, unpublished novel of any length. The deadline for all manuscript submissions is November 15, 2017. Winner will be announced in June of 2018 . 

Entry fee: $25 US. This competition is open to international submissions for all writers in English. We accept simultaneous submissions, and ask only that you notify us immediately if your book has been accepted for publication elsewhere.

All submissions must include name, address, telephone number, email, website (if you have one), a brief biography, outline, full synopsis and full manuscript. Online submissions are required. Please note that, when submitting online, all materials must be combined into ONE document before uploading. Be sure to upload all required materials, including the synopsis BEFORE the manuscript, which should be uploaded last. To submit online please go to our Submittable Page for the Blue Mountain Novel Award.

All awards are decided by Hidden River staff, and decisions are final.

Hidden River Review Short Play Award
 
Hidden River Arts offers $1,000 and publication in The Hidden River Review of Arts & Letters for an unpublished and unproduced short play of no more than 15 minutes.
Eligible: Any previously unpublished and unproduced short play of no more than 15 minutes.

The full script should be submitted, along with a brief bio, synopsis and character breakdown. Any scripts submitted without the synopsis and breakdown will be disqualified.

Please note: As long as the play is unpublished, and has not received a full production (readings, workshops, showcases are all FINE) at the time of submission, you are not required to withdrawal the manuscript if you receive a production offer during our deliberation process. We do request, however, that you withdraw your manuscript should you receive an offer of publication, since publication is part of this prize. All submissions should be made to Submittable.
We also accept multiple submissions and simultaneous submissions.

Reading fee: $17
Deadline: November 15, 2017
 
Announcements of the winning script will be made online, so please BOOKMARK our blog to stay up-to-date on all activities.

The winning script is chosen by our Hidden River staff, and all decisions are final.
