Bellingham Review is now accepting entries in our annual fiction, nonfiction, and poetry contests.
Bellingham Review publishes literature of palpable quality: poems, stories, and essays that nudge the limits of form or execute traditional forms exquisitely.
Prizes: Each contest carries a $1,000 prize, plus publication in Bellingham Review. Contest finalists are also eligible for publication.
All contestants will receive a free copy of the 2013 issue of Bellingham Review, in which the winning works will appear.
The contest judges are as follows:
Tobias Wolff Award in Fiction: Robin Hemley
Annie Dillard Award in Creative Nonfiction: Sheila Bender
49th Parallel Award in Poetry: Linda Bierds
Deadline: Submissions must be entered between December 1, 2011, and March 15, 2012.
Contest Fees: $20 for the first entry (one story, one essay, or up to 3 poems) and $10 for each additional entry in the same genre.
Entries can be submitted through Submittable, a link to which is available on our website

We look forward to reading your work,
Bellingham Review
