Only 20 more days to enter the next quarter's Banshee Studios writing contest. The contest is in the Essay category and here are the guidelines:
Guidelines:
Must be roughly 1200 to 1500 words. We are looking for personal or opinion essays, not academic style essays. We will stay away from anything blatantly political. That is not to say that we will not consider essays with some political content, however, your essay touting the merits of Candidate X, or the one that trashes Political Party Y will go straight to the Recycle Bin. Remember, this is primarily an outlet for fiction writing, so essays should be creative, interesting and have a point.Maximum entries are two per author. Put "Essay Contest" in the subject line of your email and send your entries to editors@bansheestudios.net. Please cut and paste your entries into the body of your email - no attachments. If the cut and paste results in formatting issues, we'll resolve them prior to publication. Also, you must include a brief biography of yourself (three to five sentences) and any contact information, such as email or web addresses, that you would like us to publish along with your piece.
First Prize: Front page publication and author's choice of a Banshee Studios signature t-shirt or tote bag, seen here.
Second Prize: Second page publication and author's choice of a Banshee Studios signature coffee mug or mouse pad, seen here.
Honorable Mention: Publication in the Samhain Issue.
As always, we are taking submissions for Poetry, Sudden Fiction, Essays and Short Stories. See our Submit Your Work page for guidelines and deadlines for each issue.
