            Students have the opportunity to submit poetry (32 line max), flash fiction (500 word max), short story (3000 word max) or essay (1200 word max) but may only enter the contest once. NO MULTIPLE GENRE SUBMISSIONS!
            Submissions will be accepted via both email and post.

Submissions written in the body of the email or missing contact information will be deleted. Handwritten submissions will not be accepted. Submissions by post must be printed on standard, white copy paper, black printer ink. Please ensure students name is not on the entry. All submissions sent via post must contain one cover letter for every student entered.
            Contest submission window is October 1-November 1. Submit your students best work, encourage experimentation and uniqueness. The theme is BLACK AND BLUE. Our Editor-in-Chief, Susan Lewis, wants to see raw talent, creativity with the theme and writing in its purest form.
            Students chosen by Mrs. Lewis will be published in an anthology available on Amazon Worldwide and Kindle Worldwide. They will also receive a free copy of the book.  We are planning to have the book published before Christmas.
