Eligible Submitters
Alumni of California Baptist University are eligible to enter. Submissions are accepted in poetry, fiction, or creative nonfiction.
Types of Submissions
PROSE (Including Short Stories, Flash Fiction, and Creative Nonfiction): 20 double-spaced pages max
POETRY: 5 pieces
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 it's own Word/Rtf File with no personal information in the file.
- Submit the 5 poetry files all at once and mark as poetry.
- Then submit the 2 short stories together as prose.
Each alumna/us 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 overall and award prizes.
Judges' decisions are final. (If you experience a technical issue, etc., let us know.)
