Attention Undergraduate Student Writers: The Shenandoah University English Department invites submissions of original poetry and short stories for the annual S. Gordden Link Poetry and Bruce C. Souders Fiction Writing Contests. Contest prize are both $250. Winning manuscripts will be published in Avalon, the student literary and arts magazine. 

To Enter: Submit one typed copy of each entry to Jo Strader in the Arts & Sciences office, Henkel Hall 206, or via email at jstrader@su.edu. Each entry should identify the writer on only the cover sheet to ensure anonymity until judging is complete.

The Rules: Poetry entries may consist of no more than five poems. Short stories may be no longer than 5,000 words. Submitted manuscripts must be unpublished in any other form. Students who submit manuscripts must be enrolled full-time (at least 12 credit hours) at Shenandoah during both semesters of the 2013-14 school year. The English faculty will judge all submissions and its decisions are final. The faculty reserves the right to make no award if no worthy manuscript is submitted.
