Poetry: $5 entry fee per five poems. No more than 10 poems per poet.

Prizes: Winners get all the money — minus the judges’ honorariums — and have their work printed in City Paper. Runners up, also chosen by the judges, get posted online. Hopefully there will be a reading, too (but we said that last year).

Eligibility: Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware residents are invited to participate. Employees and regular freelancers for the City Paper are ineligible, obvs.

Submitting: All checks should be made payable to City Paper Writing Contest at the address below or via PayPal to paypal@citypaper.net. Stories and poems should be e-mailed to gimmefiction@citypaper.net or mailed the old-fashioned way to:

City Paper Writing Contest

We'll announce the judges soon. No phone calls please regarding specific entries. Manuscripts will not be returned. We’re okay with genre fiction. We’ll put up with weirdly arranged poetry. And now: I think you know what time it is.
