Short Story Contest About Tradition from The Premises Magazine 2019

The Premises Magazine welcomes applications for the Short Story Contest titled Tradition. For this contest, write a creative, compelling, well-crafted story between 1,000 and 5,000 words long in which some kind of tradition(s) play(s) an important role.

Genre Rules:

1. No children’s fiction.
2. No exploitative sex.
3. No over-the-top grossout horror.
4. No stories that are obvious parodies of existing fictional worlds/characters created by other authors.

Eligibility criteria:

1. One entry per author.
2. There is no fee for entering this contest.
3. Remember to take all identifying information out of your story! Tell who you are in the space provided for the cover letter, NOT in your story! No headers, no bylines… just the story.
4. On The Premises accepts submissions in the following formats only: Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx), Rich Text Format (.rtf), plain text (.txt), and OpenOffice/NeoOffice (.odt).
5. Stories must be in English. A little bit of non-English is okay if the story needs it, but make sure people who don’t know that language can get a good sense of what’s being written.

Prize:

The winning story will be published in the magazine.

Note: If you submit a contest entry and are eventually told “Sorry, your entry did not make the final round of judging,” you may send $15 in US dollars and ask to critique your non-finalist entry.
