Eligible Submitters
Alumni of California Baptist University are eligible to enter. Submissions are accepted in two categories: Poetry and Prose (fiction and creative nonfiction).
Types of Submissions
PROSE (Including Short Stories, Flash Fiction, and Creative Nonfiction): Maximum of 20 double-spaced pages (but those 20 pages may include multiple pieces).
POETRY: Maximum of 5 poems
Submissions should be grouped by category, but please submit each entry as an individual file.
Submission Process
For example, if you would like to submit 5 poems and 2 short stories:
- Save each work as its own Word/RTF file with no personal information in the file.
- Upload the 5 poetry files all at once and select Poetry as the category.
- Upload the 2 short story files together and select as Prose as the category.
Each alum may submit to each of the categories once, so prep all of your files before submitting. NO identifying personal information should be on the submission file--only the title and the work itself should be included in the Word/RTF document.
Awards
The judges will determine the top three pieces in each category and award prizes. Judges' decisions are final. (If you experience a technical issue, etc., let us know.)
