Deadline: 20 December 2012

Nassau Review believes in supporting the artistic community and promoting good writing locally, nationally, and internationally. We welcome submissions of many genres, preferring work that is innovative, captivating, well-crafted, and unique, work that crosses boundaries of genres and tradition. You may be serious. You may be humorous. You may be somewhere in between. We are looking simply for quality. New writers and seasoned writers are both welcome. All work must be in English.

ALL work submitted will be under consideration for the Writer Awards. You do not have to send any separate submissions for the contest. Every period will offer $250 for prose and $250 for poetry.

Do not submit any work via email or snail mail.

The THEME for the submission period of 2012-2013 is Ekphrasis. Ekphrasis here means any work about, influenced by, or containing allusions to any other type of art or literature.
