The Iowa Review Awards
We accept submissions to the Iowa Review Awards during the month of January. Judges for the 2021 Awards are Melissa Febos (nonfiction), Tracie Morris (poetry), and Jamel Brinkley (fiction).
About the Contest
Each January since 2003, The Iowa Review has invited submissions to The Iowa Review Awards, a writing contest in poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction. Winners receive $1,500; first runners-up receive $750. Winners and runners-up are published in each December issue.
Contest Rules
Submit up to 25 pages of prose (double-spaced) or 10 pages of poetry (one poem or several, but no more than one poem per page). Work must be previously unpublished. Simultaneous submissions are fine assuming you inform us of acceptance elsewhere.
To submit, visit our submission link during the month of January and follow these instructions:
- Select the appropriate genre category. If you'd like to purchase a discounted yearlong subscription to The Iowa Review for $10, please choose a genre marked "(subscription)." Otherwise, choose "(no subscription)."
- Include a cover letter listing your name, address, e-mail address and/or telephone number, and the title of each submitted work. (Please use the "Cover Letter" form field in Submittable; do not include the cover letter as part of your uploaded document.)
- Do not include your name on the manuscript itself.
- Upload your entry. Multiple poems or prose pieces can comprise a single entry if the total number of pages does not exceed 25 for prose or 10 for poetry. For instance, you may submit two short stories of ten pages each as a single entry; the stories would be read and judged separately. But please do not mix genres: a ten-page story and a two-page poem constitute separate entries.
- Pay the $20 entry fee using Paypal, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover.
- If you submit more than one entry, even within the same genre, you must submit the $20 entry fee with each entry.
- Submit between January 1 and January 31.
