Annual Editors’ Prizes

Every year, as we complete the selection of works for our issue, the Editors select the works that have had the greatest impact on us. We re-read every work that we have selected for the issue, and vote to determine a First Prize, Second Prize, and Honorable Mention. The prizewinners are announced in the issue and on our website, with cash prizes awarded. No special application is necessary.
