Contest Guidelines

Entry Fee: $15.00

Method of Payment: Check or money order payable to The Tusculum Review.

Benefits from Fees: One-year subscription to The Tusculum Review (an annual publication) and consideration for publication. We ALWAYS consider ALL works submitted for publication. Only works with entry fees, however, will be considered for the contest.

Manuscript Return: None. Please do NOT send postage paid envelopes for return of manuscripts. We do not have the staff to accommodate this. All unpublished manuscripts will be recycled.

Judges: The judge this year will be Michael Martone. Family, friends, and previous students of the judge, or those with a reciprocal professional relationship with the judge, will be disqualified from the contest. Submissions will be screened by the staff of The Tusculum Review, and finalists will be forwarded for judging.

Method of Judging: Manuscripts will be numbered and all names on the manuscripts will be removed before they are presented to the judges. In the event that judges do not deem any submissions worthy of the prize, The Tusculum Review reserves to extend the call for manuscripts or to cancel the award.

Notification: All contestants will receive the 2009 issue of The Tusculum Review and a letter listing the winner and finalists. The winner and finalists will be listed on The Tusculum Review website.
