We are proud to announce our seventh annual Story Foundation Prize is now open! The winner will receive $1500 and publication in our summer 2026 issue for a single short story.
This year’s judge is Deesha Philyaw, whose most recent book is the award-winning story collection The Secret Lives of Church Ladies. Submissions for the Story Foundation Prize opened on August 15, 2025 and will close at midnight PST on December 15, 2025.
Submit one short story of up to 10,000 words via our Submission Manager.
Our entry fee is $25. Each entrant receives a one-year subscription (three issues) to Story.
Please double-space your manuscript.
Multiple submissions and simultaneous submissions are welcome, but you must pay a separate fee for each entry and withdraw the piece immediately if accepted elsewhere.
Entries must be previously unpublished. All entries will be considered for publication at our regular rate. Previous winners of the Story Foundation Prize are not eligible.
Winners will be announced in March 2026.
