Summer 2011 Elephant Prize for Short Fiction
We are currently accepting short storie submissions for the Summer 2011 Elephant Prize. Submissions must be under 7500 words. Multiple submissions are accepted: you may submit as many stories as you like.
There is an $8 reader's fee per entry. We understand the reluctance many writers have toward reader’s fees. The contest entry fee allows us to pay out prizes and keep our site running. We try to keep our fees at a minimum. If you do not wish to pay the fee, you may still submit your story to us via Standard Submission, which implies no fee.
All contest entries are also considered as standard submissions and are eligible for the standard payment of $50 per story if accepted.
Contest prizes are as follows:
First Place prize is $350 and publication in In The Snake.
Second Place earns $175 and possible publication.
Third Place earns $125 and possible publication.
In addition, 10 finalists will receive honorable mention.Contest begins on Friday July 1, 2011, and ends Wednesday August 31.
Winners will be announced on October 31, 2011
