The overall quality was extraordinarily high, making our decision a difficult one. We’ve contacted all of the winners and finalists, and we’re working hard now to get the issue to you as soon as possible. We’re also very thankful to all the writers who entered this year: we read your work with care, and had lively (but friendly!) discussions about all the poems, stories, and essays. We hope that you’ll find this issue to be as satisfying and rewarding as we did.

The Editors’ Prize issue will be out in April 2012. Thanks again to everyone – writers and editors alike – who helped to make this year’s contest so wonderful!

We want to read your work!
