An international literary competition

 

The Subnivean Awards in fiction and poetry are now closed. We look forward to reading work that rocks our socks off in November!

DEADLINE: FEBRUARY 21

Five finalists' work will be

  • forwarded on to the final judges in poetry and fiction

  • published in the summer 2024 issue

 

Two winners (one in poetry, one in fiction) will also receive

  • a blurb by the appropriate final judge

  • a $150 prize

  • an invitation to read their work at our hallmark Subnivean Awards event, which is promoted to thousands at SUNY and beyond

But what about general submissions?
Yes, we read those year-round.

The stories and poems that we are looking for need not fit into a particular mold; rather, we're seeking work that breaks the mold, grinds it into a fine powder, pours it in a pot of water and brings it to a boil, schleps it up a steep mountainside, drizzles it across the snow and lets it cool, there, into the desired shape.
