Hello Ch1Con people! We’re thrilled to announce a new event opening up this year, the Ch1Con Poetry and Short Fiction Contest!
Submissions open up tonight for this exciting contest, and close on May 15. By early June, we hope to announce the first, second, and third place winners, as well as a number of honorable mentions, all of whom will be published in an e-book anthology coming out in July. Additionally, the first place winners will receive discounted admission to the conference in Chicago!
This is a chance for publication and to submit your best works of poetry and short fiction. Judged by members of the Ch1Con team, your work is guaranteed to be looked over with a careful eye. You can submit up to three stories and three poems (though you can’t win more than one top three spot). Short stories should be from 1,000 to 5,000 words, and poems should be no longer than one page in standard formatting.
We’re seriously excited to see all your submissions, and the submission page will be up soon! Check our social media and website for upcoming announcements about this contest.
