Sea Giraffe Martius Contest – NOW ACCEPTING SUBMISSIONS
Sea Giraffe‘s Martius Contest accepts submissions for previously unpublished fiction, poetry and creative nonfiction. The contest runs every year, accepting work throughout the month of March. The goal of the Martius Contest is to discover, recognize, and publish pieces of creative work that have gone undiscovered, unrecognized, and unpublished up until now. One overall winner will be chosen, and then a winner will be chosen from each remaining category (For example, if the overall winner is a poetry submission, we will choose a fiction and a creative non-fiction piece as the second and third place winners). Submissions are Poetry: three poems per submission. Fiction: one story per submission. Creative Nonfiction: one story per submission. You may submit in any/every category, and you may submit as many times as you would like. However, the entry fee will apply to each separate submission. Simultaneous submissions accepted, but entry fees are nonrefundable. First prize is $100 and publication. Second prize is $20 and publication. Third prize is $10 and publication. Entry/Reading fee is $5.
*Note: All entries will be considered for publication. Just because a piece is not chosen as a contest winner does not mean it will not be published by Sea Giraffe. Martius Contest Details
