2027 NORward Prize for Fiction ($750)
Ends on
We love the work of our fiction contributors and think they can help us find the next great NOR story. For this reason, we are happy to announce the 2nd annual "NORward Prize for Fiction." This prize will be judged by a group of our past fiction contributors. The winner will receive a $750 Prize and publication in a future print issue of New Ohio Review. Additionally, any story that receives a first-place vote from one of our judges is guaranteed to be published on NewOhioReview.org. These will be "Honorable Mentions in the NORward Prize." Pieces that are not selected by our judges will still be considered for publication in our print issues (and our online editions). Judging for the contest will be "concealed," meaning NOR staffers and contest judges will not know the identities of the entrants. Please exclude your contact information—including name, email address, and mailing address—from your actual submission. Entry fee comes with two complimentary issues of NOR (38 and 39. However, if you are already subscribed, we will extend your subscription for one year. You may submit up to 20 pages of double-spaced prose per story in your submission entry. Good luck.
