Rhubarb Magazine: Call to Writers, Deadline May 1

RHUBARB “MONEY”LITERARY CONTEST – Deadline MAY 1, 2012

Rhubarb announces its first literary contest with a total of $1,500 in prize money. Fittingly enough it is for a future Rhubarb issue with Mennonites and money as its theme, in the three usual categories published in the magazine. Like the loosely defined Mennonite voices we publish, any creative variations on the theme are welcome. The contest is open to anyone with preference to those submissions with Mennonite references, which will however, not be the final criteria.
The prizes are $300 and $200 each in poetry, fiction and creative non-fiction, and publication in the magazine. All honourable mentions will also be published and receive the standard $50 payment for publication. All entrants will receive a subscription to Rhubarb magazine beginning with the money issue.
The judges are: Armin Wiebe – Fiction, Aiden Enns –  Non-Fiction, Maurice Mierau – Poetry.
The entry fee is $30.00. Three poems of up to 30 lines can be submitted as one poetry entry, fiction and non-fiction are limited to one submission with a maximum of 2,500 words.
