AWP Intro Journals Project
November 1, 2018
The Intro Journals Project is a national literary competition for the discovery and publication of the best new works by students currently enrolled in the programs of the Associated Writing Programs (AWP). Winners receive a $50 cash honorarium and are published in Hayden’s Ferry Review, Mid-American Review, Puerto del Sol, Controlled Burn, Quarterly West, Tampa Review, Willow Springs, or Artful Dodge. As a member program, the University of Connecticut is eligible to nominate one work of nonfiction, one work of short fiction, and three poems.
Who’s Eligible
Both graduate and undergraduate students at the University of Connecticut’s main and regional campuses.
Guidelines
Work submitted should be unpublished. Students may submit up to one essay, one work of fiction, and three poems. Prose should be double-spaced, poetry single-spaced. The subject line of the e-mail should indicate the full name of the contest and the genre of your submission (for example: “AWP Intro Journals Project – poetry”). Please submit your work via e-mail following these guidelines. The submission should consist of a single MS Word document that contains your cover sheet (see format) followed by your submission. (Note that while your student ID number should appear on every page of the packet, your name should appear only on the cover sheet.) Students may submit work in more than one genre but please do so in separate e-mails (in other words, do not include a short story and a poem in the same e-mail).
