Prizes
Our short story
contests award the following prizes in US dollars:
1st prize: $140
2nd prize: $100
3rd prize: $70
Honorable mention: $25
Between zero and three stories will be chosen as honorable
mentions. Probably, two or three will.
We will pay authors one of two ways: a bank check drawn on a US
bank, or some form of electronic payment (PayPal, an Amazon gift
certificate, or a gift certificate for any other e-commerce site
that offers them). If you feel you cannot cash a check drawn from a
US bank, then some form electronic payment is your only other
option.
No wire transfers! It does not make sense
to pay as much as $35 in wire transfer fees for an honorable
mention prize of $25.
