THE ELIZABETH MCCORMACK/INKWELL
MAW STUDENT AND ALUMNI
2008 CONTEST GUIDELINES
Contests in Poetry & Fiction

For the 4th year, Inkwell will sponsor Poetry and Fiction Contests for our MAW students and alumni. Here are the guidelines:

Please send well crafted, creative work with a fresh voice.

  1. Who’s eligible? All Manhattanville MAW students and alumni. IMPORTANT: Please indicate MAW Poetry Contest or MAW Fiction Contest on envelope.
  2. Reading fee: $10 per entry
  3. Reading period: Only entries postmarked (or brought to the Inkwell office) between August 1 and October 15, 2008 will be considered. All other entries will be disqualified. NO MANUSCRIPTS WILL BE RETURNED.
  4. Judge: This year, MAW alumna Susan Moorhead will judge both contests. Susan’s poetry and prose have been published in numerous print and online journals. She has a picturebook forthcoming from E.P. Dutton.
  5. Manuscripts: Send one unpublished poem (maximum 40 lines) or one unpublished short story (maximum 2,500 words) (Students may submit in both categories, with a $10 fee for each entry.)
  6. Format: Fiction must be typed, double-spaced, with no identifying information on the entry. Poetry must be typed, single-spaced, with no identifying information on the entry. No electronic submissions.
  7. Awards: The judge will select one MAW fiction winner and one MAW poetry winner. The judge decides if there is no winner in a category. Each winner will be awarded a $200 cash prize and publication in Inkwell’s Spring 2009 issue. Winners will be invited to read at Inkwell’s Gala Reception held in September 2009.

Please Note:
This contest is separate from Inkwell’s Annual Poetry and Fiction Competitions. Submissions to the Annual Competitions or General Submissions have their own guidelines and must be sent under separate cover.

We look forward to reading your work!
