We would like to express our appreciation to all who sent work to the contest.
Response from poets and fiction writers across the country was terrific and there were many wonderful submissions that were remarked by readers and final judges alike as eminently publishable. Thanks to all who submitted. We hope to see this issue in print in February of 2011 or before.
