The Medulla Review
Oblongata Contest
Dear Writers,
During the first three weeks of every month the editor-in-chief will review poetry, flash fiction, and fiction submissions for the monthly Oblongata Contest. Winning works from each category will be published on the first day of each month.
First place winners will receive publication and a link with their name on the homepage of The Medulla Review for one year. The winning writer's web-page containing their winning piece may also include artwork, lengthy bios, promotions of books, blogs, links to other sites, or a myriad of other things, depending on the specific wishes of the writer.
Second and third place winners will receive publication of their work and a short-bio for one year on a homepage link entitled “Oblongata Winners.” First place winners may not submit again for one year. Second and third place winners may submit again. All winning pieces will be considered for inclusion in the yearly print anthology of The Medulla Review.
The entry fee for each contest submission is $1o.00. Please send payment via PayPal to oblongatacontest (AT) gmail (DOT) com prior to sending the submission.
Submit one to five poems, one flash fiction piece (up to 1,000 words), or one fiction piece (up to 3,000 words) to oblongatacontest (AT) gmail (DOT) com.
Submissions for Oblongata Contest #8 will open from December 1, 2010 until December 23, 2010. Winners for the contest will be notified and published around January 1, 2011.
I look forward to reading your work!
Sincerely,
Jennifer Hollie Bowles
