The contests are judged by members of the academic writing community in Montana, Arizona, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina. To see their pictures and read their bios, click the Contest Judges link.
The Cover Image Contest:
This contest is for artists. The winner of this contest will have their design published on the cover of the Third Annual Fiction in Five Anthology, due out in July, 2013.
Contest entry fees pay for the prizes and administrative costs of the contests. Profits from the contest fees are divided among the judges to compensate them for their time.
