Our goal is to represent a variety of young voices emerging from the contemporary body, as well as to extend the dialogue by providing constructive feedback to those writers we are unable to publish at the time. Additionally, the top three submissions in poetry and non-fiction prose are awarded cash prizes.	Poetry, Creative Nonfiction	Yes	Yes	Sep 1 - Feb 1	Web Print
