Writing Competition: Petrichor Reprint Award

PRIZES
1st place wins $500, personalized lucite, recording of the winning story in audio and publication. 
2nd place wins $100, and publication of the recorded piece.
3rd place wins $50, and publication of the recorded piece.
Runners-up (5), semi-finalists (10), and honorable mentions (5) will be announced on the Petrichor website and considered for publication.

LENGTH
We do not have record tracks exceeding 90 minutes and we would hate to cut a short story into parts. An hour of audio is roughly 9,000 words.

COVER LETTER
We look for the author name, phonetic spelling of the author name and any unusual names in the story, word count, where the story originally appeared, the acknowledgement you need (e.g., first appeared on The XYZ Review), the date of publication, author bio, author picture and contact information. You can also let us know if you specifically want male or female voice narration. Anything else is up to you; we will not be offended if you stick to the minimum.

FORMATTING
Microsoft Word only please. Even if the story is published online, we still need the file.

SIMULTANEOUS SUBMISSIONS
Simultaneous submissions are permitted.

MULTIPLE SUBMISSIONS
Multiple submissions are permitted.

PUBLICATION RIGHTS
The story is yours. It will continue to be yours. We retain the rights to the audio we produce. We also reserve the right to the content for promotional purposes. In addition, we ask for a six-month exclusivity period where we ask that you do not publish the story in audio in the period of six months from the date it appears on our website.

SUBMISSIONS
Please use Submittable. We don’t accept submissions by mail.

Deadline: Aug. 31, 2018

Entry Fee: $12.00
