MERIDIAN EDITORS' PRIZE CONTEST DEADLINE APPROACHING



 
A final reminder that MERIDIAN is now accepting online entries for its twelfth annual Editors’ Prize Contests in fiction and poetry until December 30. Genre winners receive a $1,000 prize and publication; all entries receive a one-year electronic subscription. Entry fee: $8.00.  Deadline: midnight (EST), Dec. 30, 2011.
 
Please note a few significant changes in our 2012 contest:
1) Our entry fee is now only $8 
2) Entrants receive an electronic version of the journal (.pdf or ePub) rather than a print subscription
3) We are only allowing two submissions per genre per entrant
 
We believe this new contest model is better for you, and better for us. Rather than having you pay substantial entry fees to cover the cost of a print subscription (and mailing fees), we’re trying a lower $8 entry fee and will e-mail you electronic versions of the January and May 2012 issues. Fewer trees, less cost … and we’ll still have print-on-demand versions ofMeridian available at an inexpensive rate for those readers who want something tangible.
 
We expect to announce winners toward the end of March 2012.
 
All submissions will be considered for publication in Meridian.
 
Fiction writers may submit one story of 10,000 words or fewer. Poets may submit up to 4 poems totaling 10 pages or fewer.
