Writing Competition for College Students: 2017 Scythe Prize

Rusty Scythe Publishing seeks previously unpublished short stories and essays to be included in a printed collection, The 2017 Scythe Prize.

The goal of the collection is to celebrate new voices in a rare, printed book that includes both fiction and creative non-fiction from current undergraduate and graduate college students.

Submissions are invited from college students around the world. Last year’s edition saw submissions from 25 countries on 5 continents. There are no formal, genre-specific, or stylistic restrictions. There is no word limit. English is required.

Submissions are collected between February 1 and April 1, 2017 and should be submitted via email as Word or PDF files to the series editor, Eric Forrest, at:

eforrest95ATgmailDOTcom (Change AT to @ and DOT to . )

With your attachment, please include your full name and the name of your school.

The top story AND essay will receive a $200 prize. Other selected submissions (45 were selected for print in 2016) will be included in the printed book, due late 2017.

Contact Eric Forrest, Editor, at the email address above and visit our website for more information.
