Short-short contest

The 1st Robert J. DeMott Short Prose Prize
http://www.quarteraftereight.org/contest/

Deadline extended: Sept. 30, 2006

This year our competition turns a new, small leaf; we will focus on
prose in brief. Submit your prose-poem, short-short fiction, essay in-brief,
etc. of 500 words or fewer. The only criterion (besides length) is that all
submissions present an innovative address to the prose form.
Include a title page with your name, address, phone number, and the
title of your submission(s). Your name must not appear on the manuscript(s). The
reading fee is $15 for three pieces and includes a copy of Vol. 13
(spring 2007).
Please make checks payable to Quarter After Eight.

Previously published material is not eligible. Manuscripts will not be
returned. The contest deadline is Sept. 30, 2006. Include a SASE for
notification of
contest winners. Prize money will be awarded upon publication.
