Writing Competition: 29th Jeffrey E. Smith Editors' Prizes, Missouri Review

The 29th Jeffrey E. Smith Editors’ Prize competition is now open for submissions in fiction, poetry, and nonfiction. First-place winners in each category receive $5000, feature publication in our spring issue, and are honored at a gala reading and reception in Columbia, Missouri. Contest finalists are often published in the magazine also, or, in the case of poetry, as part of our Poem of the Week online feature. All entrants are considered for publication.

We accept submissions online or by mail.

The postmark deadline is October 1. Winners will be announced in January of 2020.

Standard entry fee is $25, which includes a year-long digital subscription to the Missouri Review and the third offering from TMR Books, Jason Brown’s collection of linked stories, A Faithful but Melancholy Account of Several Barbarities Lately Committed. The All Access Entry Fee is $30, which includes the same year-long digital subscription and Brown’s collection, plus full access to our entire ten-year archive of value-added digital issues, complete with print and audio versions of the magazine.

You can find out more about the contest through our website.
