<\/figure>\n

Thank you for your interest in our 2024 Short Story Contest!<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a short story fiction writing contest.<\/p>\n

The short story contest is open to any English language writer anywhere on Earth, aged 13 years or older.<\/p>\n

We are open to receiving submissions of short stories originally written in a language other than English, that have since been translated to English. \u00a0If this is the case, the original non-English manuscript must be available for review upon request.<\/p>\n

The Theme: Sense of Place<\/strong><\/p>\n

The theme for this short story contest is A Sense of Place.<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t want to provide too much structure to our theme. \u00a0We hope contest entrants will interpret this theme as they see fit, expressing a keen sense of place within 3000 to 10000 words of fictional narrative.<\/p>\n

However: Our simple definition for sense of place is: figuring out the reality of where you are, and how you perceive that reality, and what your perception of that reality means to you.<\/p>\n

Submissions<\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019ll be using our Submittable platform to accept submissions for the short story contest.<\/p>\n

No other forms of submission will be accepted.<\/p>\n

Prizes and Awards<\/strong><\/p>\n

The contest winner will receive a $200 cash prize.<\/p>\n

Several honorable mentions may be awarded to additional short story submissions.<\/p>\n

Additionally, three thematic prizes may be awarded in this short story contest, depending on the quality of submissions, at the discretion of The Upper New Review publisher. \u00a0These prizes include:<\/p>\n
