SUMMARY:P - Speckled Trout Review
DESCRIPTION:Speckled Trout Review is an independent literary magazine. We like good storytelling in poems metaphorically rich and ripe with imagery\, poems in which every word counts\, poems that look like poems. Good rhythm is nice\, too. However\, abstract is not our thing; neither is overt political stuff. Appalachian poets are welcome here\, in addition to many other subjects\, styles\, and work from poets spanning the globe. \n  \nSubmission Guidelines\nCall for submissions: Fall 2021 (3.2) Childhood memories (print issue)Submission window opens September 1\, closing November 1. \nWe often have a penchant to wax nostalgic about our childhood memories or a desire to idealize them. However\, the reality is more measured. We know that we may carry these formative recollections\, visceral and vivid\, with us throughout our lives\, even as we perceive them to be warm and nourishing or perhaps frightening. We want poems that leave the front porch and go beyond the trees. \nEditors of Speckled Trout Review welcome submissions of unpublished poetry (nothing previously published in an electronic publication of any kind or in print) for its Fall 2021 (3.2) print issue. Poets can paste up to 4 poems\, followed by a 50-word writer’s biography and mailing address\, in the body of an e-mail to speckledtroutreview@hotmail.com. Please note: attachments will go unread. Poems with overt political messages are not for Speckled Trout Review. Simultaneous submissions are fine\, but please share the good news when a poem finds a home elsewhere. For any questions about submissions or Speckled Trout Review\, reach out to us at the above e-mail address. Poets whose work is selected for Fall 2021 (3.2) will receive a complimentary copy of the issue. \nFor contributors whose work appears in either a fall or spring issue\, we ask poets acknowledge Speckled Trout Review as the original publisher of the poem(s) in any subsequent publication thereafter. We reserve the right to archive accepted poems on the Speckled Trout Review website indefinitely and to publish work in a future anthology.

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).

SUMMARY:Rolling Deadlines - Seeking Great Short Stories to be Read on Video
DESCRIPTION:Seeking Great Short Stories to be Read on Video\nDeadline: Rolling\n\n\n\n\nSomeShortStories.com is a new website featuring videos of our narrators reading short fiction aloud. We are seeking stories in the literary genre between 1\,500 – 8\,000 words. We’re looking for great stories that really delve into the characters’ thoughts and feelings\, and which don’t need an understanding of a certain genre’s tropes to be enjoyed. And since we want to promote Indie authors\, we want stories by authors who have books for sale on Amazon. \nSubmission guidelines at someshortstories.com.

SUMMARY:N - Yes Magazine - Call for Pitch for Spring Issue 2022
DESCRIPTION:The Personal Journeys Issue\nDeadline for pitches is Oct. 22 \nAs a leading publisher of solutions journalism for more than 25 years\, YES! has reported on communities—including those historically excluded—organizing to solve the problems created by extractive and exploitive systems. We have told stories of the social justice movements propelling the nation forward. Even as we have inspired countless readers to take action in their own communities\, so many more have questions: But how? What can I do about that? How do I do that? \nThose questions can sometimes lead to feeling overwhelmed. Even those “doing the work” are burning out.There is so much work to be done in creating a better world—a just world\, an equitable\, compassionate\,and sustainable world. Where do I start? How do I start? \nAnd how do I keep going? \nThe spring 2022 issue of YES! Magazine will be an introspective\, personal exploration of “being the change you want to see in the world.” It will allow readers to stop\, be still\, breathe\, reflect\, and behold. To take account of their own personal agency through the stories of others as a part of building a better world for all. \nWe’re looking for pitches and leads for reported stories\, essays\, and analyses that will explore personal approaches to activism\, and simply\, ways of being engaged in what is going on in our communities. These stories should reveal how personal change is connected to the greater change we all want to see\, how transforming the ways in which individuals see each other can transform the policies that govern us and the stewardship we provide for the land—and the planet. \nSend us your leads and pitches on the people\, initiatives\, or groups that help us connect to the ways in which we take responsibility for our role in creating a better world. \nAll of the stories we seek will be examples of excellent journalism and storytelling: stories  with  compelling characters that are well-researched and demonstrate struggle and resolution. Hurry and send your pitches to  spring2022@yesmagazine.org   by  Oct. 22 to be considered for the spring issue.  (All other pitches can be sent to  submissions@yesmagazine.org.) \nCall for Submissions: The Personal Journeys Issue
