Rhubarb Magazine, Literary Contest, "Money"

More details on Money special issue

RHUBARB “MONEY”LITERARY CONTEST – Deadline September 1, 2012

Rhubarb announces its first literary contest with a total of $1,500 in prize money open to anyone with $30.00. Fittingly enough it is for a future Rhubarb issue with Mennonites and money as its theme, in the three usual categories published in the magazine. Like the loosely defined Mennonite voices we usually publish, any creative variations on the theme are welcome.

The prizes are $300 and $200 each in poetry, fiction and creative non-fiction, and publication in the magazine. All honourable mentions will also be published and receive the standard $50 payment for publication. All entrants will receive a subscription to Rhubarb magazine beginning with the money issue. Prizes may not be awarded in all categories, at the discretion of the judges.

The judges are: Armin Wiebe – Fiction, Aiden Enns – Non-Fiction, Maurice Mierau – Poetry.

The entry fee is $30.00. Three poems of up to 30 lines can be submitted as one poetry entry, fiction and non-fiction are limited to one submission with a maximum of 2,500 words.

Entry Details

Please provide all contact information including your name address and email on a cover sheet, without your name appearing on the entry itself. Submissions will be accepted by email at submit@rhubarbmag.com and surface mail. Email entries won’t be logged until a cheque for $30 arrives in the mail.

Please address surface mail entries and cheques payable to “The Mennonite Literary Society” to:
