The Ceiling 200 Contest is for very short fiction or prose poetry under 200 words long. 3/5/21 deadline. More here.
Submission window: The FuPo PoCo and the Ceiling 200 Contests open on January 1st and have a March 5th deadline.
Entry fees: 1 piece=no fee; up to 2 pieces=$5; up to 3 pieces=$15; up to 5 pieces=$25; up to 7 pieces=$35.
Prizes: Each contest will have $250 first prize, $100 second prize and $50 third prize—and all of the pieces submitted will be considered for publication at the normal rate (this year that would be $30).
The “In One Go” Folio Contest is for selections of work that are best read together, hence the name. We’re accepting prose, poetry and anything in between. For poetry submissions we’re looking for poetry roughly 6-14 poems (under 24 pages) and for prose 3-10 pieces of short fiction (under 1500 words each, totaling no more than 10k words). This folio will appear as a feature in issue #7, and also as an artistically designed standalone pdf.
Entry fees: $10. Like Pay it Forward options, we’re offering a ‘donation’ option of an additional $10 which will go entirely to the author on top of the prize and in the note introducing the prize winners the ‘patrons’ will get a thank you.
Prize: $200 prize. All pieces submitted will be considered for publication at the normal rate (this year that would be $30 for an individual piece or $100 for a feature). And this is just an estimate—if we have a busy enough ‘Pay it Forward’ submission season before the contest kicks off, the prize may be doubled even—we’ll have an updated total before we start reading.
