Columbia Literary Journal Seeks Contest Submissions

By Maryann Yin 

Columbia: A Journal of Literature and Art Writing Contest is calling for fiction, nonfiction, and poetry submissions for an annual writing contest. Three winners will receive $500 in prize money as well as a feature in the journal’s 49th issue.

Here’s more from the rules: “Contest submissions in fiction and nonfiction must be no longer than twenty double-spaced pages. Poets may send up to five individual poems for consideration, but they must be combined into a single document.”

Judges include Pulitzer prize-winning novelist Robert Olen Butler, nonfiction writer Jo Ann Beard, and poet Joanna Klink. Entries must be sent with a $12 fee and the deadline is set for January 18th.
