Poetry Contest Closes

Perigee's 2007 Poetry Contest closes this evening at midnight (central timezone, GMT -6).

We would like to thank all the poets who elected to participate in this year's iteration of our most popular contest. Judging by the submissions we've read thus far, this year's competition is stiff, and the decision ahead of us is sure to be difficult. The editors and finalist judge, Joseph Millar, will be deciding on winners over the next six weeks. Those who participated can expect to hear from us with a decision on or before February 15th, 2008. The results will be posted on this blog, and the winning entries will appear in our April anniversary issue.

The close of our Poetry Contest also means that our Fiction Contest is opening. Tonight at midnight, the storytellers among you may submit to our fiction competition. Check here over the coming days for an official announcement about the 2008 Fiction Contest finalist judge.

And Happy New Year!

If you've been waiting to submit your finest poems to Perigee's 2007 Poetry Contest, wait no longer. The deadline for this year's competition draws near.

Our Finalist Judge Joseph Millar will soon be reading your submissions and deciding on the winners. We're giving away $650 in cash prizes to the top four entries—with a whopping $300 going to the first place entry.
