Announcing the Etchings Press 2018 Whirling Prize
This fall, Etchings Press will host the 2018 Whirling Prize. This is an annual competition for which students at UIndy select a theme and then judge the competition, selecting two books to honor.
Student judges welcome books that have been published since January 2016 that are connected to the theme of disability. They are interested in reading books with a focus on disabilities either visible (manifesting in symptoms people see and respond to) or invisible (like mental illness, addiction, learning disabilities). All writers focusing on related topics of any genre are welcome to participate.
The winners will receive a $500 cash prize and 25 copies of a letterpress broadside designed by students of Hullabaloo Press. The winners will also be featured in an episode of a literary podcast that will air in winter 2019, discussing their work and craft with the student judges.
The postmark deadline for submission is Sept. 1, 2018.
Entry Fee: $20.00
If your writers or readers have an eligible book and would like to participate, The guidelines may be found here.
