The Shenandoah University English Department invites submissions of original poetry and short stories for the annual S. Gordden Link Poetry and Bruce C. Souders Fiction writing contests. Each contest prize is $250. The deadline for both writing contests is Friday, March 25, 2009.Poetry entries may consist of no more than five poems; short stories may be no longer than 5,000 words. Students who submit manuscripts must be enrolled full-time (at least 12 credit hours) at Shenandoah during both semesters in 2010-11. Submitted manuscripts must be unpublished in any other form.
Submit one typed copy of each entry to Jo Strader in the Arts & Sciences office, Henkel Hall 206, or via email at jstrader@su.edu. Each entry should identify the writer on only the cover sheet to ensure anonymity until judging is complete. The English faculty will judge all submissions and their decisions are final. The faculty reserves the right to make no award if no worthy manuscript is submitted. All manuscripts are subject to local publication, including in Avalon, the student literary and arts magazine, at the discretion of the faculty.
Please direct questions to Dr. Michelle Brown in Howe Hall 114 or via email at mbrown5@su.edu.
