SUMMARY:North American Review: Kurt Vonnegut Speculative Fiction Prize
DESCRIPTION: The Vonnegut Prize is an annual fiction competition sponsored by North American Review. This award is intended to recognize the finest speculative fiction\, which can include\, but is not limited to\, work influenced by the postmodern science-fiction of Kurt Vonnegut. We love Vonnegut’s dark humor\, but please avoid mere imitation. We are enthusiastic about all work painted with speculative fiction’s broad brush: fairytale\, magical realism\, fabulism\, the fantastic\, horror\, Afro-futurism\, science fiction hard and soft\, and everything in between. The winning entry will appear in the North American Review’s annual summer fiction issue\, and all finalists will be considered for publication. \nContest Information \nOpen for submission: August 10\, 2021.\nFirst Prize: $1\,000\nDeadline: November 1st\, 2021. Results will be announced in January.\nWordcount: 500 – 12\,000 words\nJudge:  Brenda Peynado \n\nSubmissions are judged anonymously; please remove identifying information.\nCurrent University of Northern Iowa students are not eligible to submit.\nThe winner will be published in the Summer 2022 Issue. All entry fees include copy of the Summer Issue.\n\nFrequently asked questions: \n\nYou may submit novel excerpts so long as they stand alone as a complete short story with beginning\, middle\, and end.\nWe will accept flash fiction as well as works up to 10\,000 words. That said\, most of our finalists and all of our winners have had wordcounts in the 2\,500 – 7\,500 range.\nWe are interested in experimental fiction; however\, if publishing your piece would require unusual layout or formatting\, please query first.\n\nOur judging process: \n\nAll submissions are read by the contest coordinator\, Dr. Brooke Wonders/Dr. Jim O’Loughlin (alternating years)\, as well as by fifteen or more North American Review preliminary readers\, most of whom are undergraduate or graduate students at UNI. They select a slate of semifinalists\, then finalists\, from the submission pool. All finalists are sent to the prize judge.\nOur prize judge selects a winner\, runner-up\, and honorable mentions from the slate of finalists. All finalists and semifinalists will be listed in the magazine and on Open Space.\nThe contest coordinator may offer publication–in a future issue of North American Review and/or on Open Space–to notable stories\, even if they are not sent to the prize judge.\nThe winner will be published in the Summer 2022 Issue.\nAll entry fees include a copy of the Summer Issue.

SUMMARY:F - CBC Short Story Prize
DESCRIPTION:Short Story (up to 2\,500 words; fiction)*\nCompetition opens: September 1\, 2021 \nDeadline: October 31\, 2021 \n*(Word count includes all words contained in the work including but not limited to titles\, footnotes\, introductions\, etc. Submissions over the specified word count will be disqualified.) \nOur word limits are strict in each category. To calculate word counts\, we put your entire submission (including the title) into Microsoft Word and use Word’s word counter. Since Word only relies on spaces to delimit words\, any term containing a hyphen (“twenty-five”) or an apostrophe (“can’t”\, “don’t”) counts as a single word. Word also counts every article (“the”\, “a”\, etc.) as a separate word. Microsoft Word also automatically counts groups of characters (e.g. “xxx”) as well as symbols (e.g. “***” or “~~~”) as a word. \nParticipants may submit as many texts as they wish in one or all categories. A writer can win only one prize per category. Each text may be submitted to only one category. \nFor each manuscript entered\, participants must complete a separate official entry form and pay the entry fee. \nParticipants must verify the exact deadlines on the cbcbooks.ca website. Please note that CBC/Radio-Canada is permitted to modify these deadlines at any time. \nOnline submission: all works must be submitted and payments must be made on or before 11:59 PM (ET) on the day of the deadline. \nWinners will be announced approximately six months after the deadline for each competition. \nHOW TO SUBMIT\nAll submissions must: \n\nBe submitted online by creating an account through Submittable. Submittable is an external site designated by CBC/Radio-Canada to manage the submissions to the competition. They adhere to CBC’s privacy policy.\nBe accompanied by the official entry form and the parental permission (electronic or print version) if applicable\nBe submitted anonymously: the name of the entrant must not appear anywhere on the text to ensure the objectivity of the jury\nBe submitted in Word or Wordpad (.doc\, .rtf or .docx) format\, in letter format (8½” by 11”)\nBe double spaced\, except for poetry texts\nBe in a legible font and font size\nBe submitted to the correct category during the entry period for that category\n\nIf you are unable to submit your content online\, please contact the CBC Literary Prizes team to obtain an alternate form of entry. \nRestrictions: \n\nAll submissions are final: no changes or substitutions are allowed\nNo handwritten manuscripts or fax texts will be accepted\nTexts will not be returned and editorial comments will not be given on the works\n\nFees: \nA fee of $25.00 (taxes included) for administration purposes is required for each entry. The competition is 100% not-for-profit\, with all fees going towards covering administrative costs\, which include payment of readers and jurors of the competition. Participants are not eligible until payment of the registration fee has been received and cashed. The entry fee will not be refunded if your submission is ineligible. All submissions are final: entry fees are non-refundable and non-transferable. \nJUDGING\nWorks are judged anonymously on the basis of the participant’s use of language\, originality of subject and writing style. \nOnly the work submitted will be considered by the judges\, other documents\, images\, diagrams etc. are not eligible for consideration by the judges. \nSubmissions are processed by a two-tiered system in both languages (English\, French) by readers and jurors. \nThe initial texts are screened by readers chosen for each category from a group of qualified editors and writers across the country. Each text is read by two readers. \nThe English readers come up with a preliminary list of approximately 100 texts that are then forwarded to a second group of readers who will decide upon the approximately 30 entries that comprise the longlist and be forwarded to the jury. \nThe French readers come up with a longlist of approximately 20 texts that are forwarded to the jury. \nThe English and French juries will read all stories on the longlist and decide on a shortlist of five in each language\, which will include a first-place winner and four runners-up. The members of the jury (three per category) are composed of eminent writers and editors from the Canadian literary community. \nEvery effort is made to achieve a balance of gender and diversity in the readers and judges and to reflect regional differences and trends. The readers and jurors change every year and are based in different areas of the country. \nJurors and readers in each category will be chosen by CBC/Radio-Canada\, the Canada Council for the Arts and the Banff Centre. \nAll decisions by the readers and the jury are final (subject to meeting any conditions and eligibility criteria as determined by CBC). Readers’ names are confidential until the end of the competition to ensure the judging process remains blind. \nPRIZES\nCanada Council for the Arts will offer five cash prizes in each category and in each language: \n\nGrand Prize: $6\,000\nFour finalists will receive $1\,000 each\n\nMoreover\, the Grand Prize winner will receive a two-week residency at The Banff Centre approximately valued at $2\,500 which will include: \n\naccommodation and meals at The Banff Centre for two weeks;\n24-hour access to a studio; and\nopportunities to access Banff Centre events and performances for free.\n\nWinners must use their prize within two years of the prize award\, at a time mutually agreeable to the Banff Centre and the prize winner. This prize does not include travel costs to and from the residency at Banff. \nMoreover\, CBC/Radio-Canada will provide visibility to winners and their work on one or more of its platforms. \nParticipants may win only one prize per category. Participants maintain ownership of their works\, although rights to reproduce and distribute them to the public are limited by the licenses granted according to these rules. \nThe prize is not transferable and includes only what is specifically mentioned in these rules. If for any reason whatsoever\, the winner is unable to use the prize in whole or in part or is unwilling to accept or take advantage of the prize as described\, or a portion thereof\, the prize or portion thereof will be forfeited without compensation and CBC/Radio-Canada\, the Canada Council for the Arts\, The Banff Centre and their affiliated companies or agents\, as well as their respective directors\, officers and employees\, will be released from all obligations toward the winner with regards to the prize or portion thereof. \nIf a prize cannot be awarded as described in these rules\, CBC/Radio-Canada\, The Banff Centre and the Canada Council for the Arts reserve the right to substitute one or more prizes or prize components with another of approximately equivalent value. \nTo be proclaimed winners or finalists\, participants must meet all the conditions and eligibility criteria set out in these rules. The winners and finalists\, or in the of case minors\, their parents or guardians\, shall provide information requested by CBC in this regard\, and shall sign a declaration of eligibility for the competition\, as set out in these rules\, and release CBC/Radio-Canada\, the Canada Council for the Arts\, The Banff Centre and their affiliated companies or agents\, as well as their respective directors\, officers and employees\, from any liability for damage or loss whatsoever\, whether arising from the participants’ involvement in this competition or from the awarding\, acceptance or use of the prize. \nA winner’s refusal to accept a prize releases CBC/Radio-Canada\, the Canada Council for the Arts\, The Banff Centre and their affiliated companies or agents\, as well as their respective directors\, officers and employees\, from all obligations toward the winner. \nELIGIBILITY\nTexts submitted to CBC Literary Awards must be written in English (texts written in several languages and translations are not eligible). Texts written in French must be submitted to the Prix de la création Radio-Canada. \nCanadian citizens\, whether living in Canada or abroad\, and permanent residents of Canada are eligible to enter. \n\nFor any participant who has not reached the age of majority in his/her province or country of residence\, parental or guardian consent is necessary to enter the competition. \nPeople who work for CBC/Radio-Canada\, the Canada Council for the Arts\, the Banff Center\, their affiliates\, as well as the members of the jury and the selection committee (readers)\, as well as their immediate family (father-mother\, brother-sister\, son-daughter) and people living under the same roof during the registration period of the prize are not eligible for this prize.
