Deadline/Date: 15 February 2011
Summer Literary Seminars is announcing its annual Unified (Kenya, Montreal and Lithuania) Literary Contest, held this year in affiliation with The Walrus Magazine. We are thrilled this year to have Jayne Anne Phillips judging the fiction, and Matthew Zapruder judging the poetry.
Contest winners in the categories of fiction and poetry will have their work prominently featured online in Canada's premiere literary magazine, The Walrus, as well as published in print in a participating literary journal in the United States (TBA). Additionally, they will have the choice of attending (airfare, tuition, and housing included) any one of the SLS 2011 programs – in Montreal, Quebec (June 12 - 25); Vilnius, Lithuania (August); or Nairobi-Lamu, Kenya (December).
Second-place winners will receive a full tuition waiver for the program of their choice, and third-place winners will receive a 50% tuition discount.
A number of select contest participants, based on the overall strength of their work, will be offered tuition scholarships, as well, applicable to the SLS 2011 programs.
Full guidelines:
One short story or novel excerpt, maximum twenty-five (25) pages per entry.
No more than three (3) poems per entry.
Only previously unpublished work can be submitted.
Include your complete contact information (address, telephone, email address) on the manuscript. Entries are not judged blind.
All entrants will be notified of the winners in the spring by email.
Cover letters are not required.
Previous First-Place winners may not re-enter.
