dead bison editors' prize in poetry, fiction, and nonfiction
$1,000 and publication in the fall issue of arcadia for the winner in each genre
Find out more about guidelines for each genre on our submission page. First place in each genre will receive $1,000 prize and be published in the fall issue of Arcadia. The runner-up in each category will also be published in the fall issue, and will receive our standard payment for their work.
We're members of the Community of Literary Magazines and Presses, and adhere to their Contest Code of Ethics. Entries from friends or family of Arcadia Press editors will not be considered. Our selection process consists of two rounds. Assistant editors select a number of drafts based on votes, and editors select the winner, runner-up, and eight finalists from those drafts. All stories are read at least twice, and many of those are read more. We're honored to have the chance to read so much fine work.
