Ploughshares is expanding its Emerging Writer's Contest in 2012 to include fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. The winner in each genre will win $1,000. Their definition of "Emerging Writer" is someone who has yet to publish a book.
Submissions will be accepted online between February 1 and April 2, 2012. Three to five poems would be accepted; nonfiction and fiction submissions should be under 5,000 words.
The entry fee is $20 and includes a one year subscription to Ploughshares (current subscribers can add to their subscription or give as a gift).
The winning story, essay and poems will be published in the Winter 2012-13 edition of Ploughshares, guest-edited by John Skoyles and Ladette Randolph.

Thanks for sharing this, Kathy.
Thanks for the heads up. I'll check this out. I haven't entered any contests in a while but I need to do more.
Hi Anita & Charles,
You're so very welcome. I know how prestigious Ploughshares is, and a chance to have your work considered by them might certainly be worth the entry fee ~ and it comes with a subscription, too :-)
Should you go for it ~ best wishes!
