Ten Finalists: Notation + Possible Publication
2007 Final Judge:
Ron Carlson author of A Kind of Flying, At the Jim Bridger, The Hotel Eden, Plan B for the Middle Class, and News of the World
Guidelines:
Postmark deadline: May 1, 2007. Contest is for previously unpublished work only--if the work has appeared in print or online, in any form or part, or under any title, it is ineligible and will be disqualified.
There is a 500-word limit for each poem or short.
A $10 entry fee (check or money order, made out to Mid-American Review) is required for each set of three prose poems/short short stories. Entry fees are non-refundable. All participants will receive Mid-American Review v. XXVIII, no. 1, where the winners will be published.
Submissions will not be returned; send SASE for early results (~ September, 2007).
Manuscripts need not be left anonymous. Contest is open to all writers, except those associated with the judge or Mid-American Review, past or present. Our judge's decision is final.
Note: All pieces submitted in verse form--i.e., poetry with line breaks--will be automatically disqualified, as will previously published work or pieces over 500 words.
