| Reading fee is $20 per story. Please, no more than 3 submissions per category.Winners and finalists will be officially announced in the September 1 bulletin, and contacted directly the previous week. |
| Simultaneous submissions are okay. Please notify immediately if your submission is accepted elsewhere. |
