Submission Guidelines
Contest Procedures
Once all the entries have been received--whether paper or electronic--they are divided, depending on the total number of entries received, among six to eight outside preliminary judges; the Center does not use interns to judge for this contest. Each preliminary judge will select three to four manuscripts, for a total of twenty-four finalists. If a preliminary judge recognizes the work of a colleague, student, or friend, they will contact the Center and that manuscript is sent to another preliminary judge.
The final judge then receives the finalists from which to select the winner. If the final judge wishes to see additional manuscripts from the preliminary judges, they may request them; the judge is not, however, permitted to request specific manuscripts. Friends, colleagues, and students (current or former) of the final judge are not eligible to compete, and the judge agrees to refrain as well from selecting any manuscript that presents a conflict of interest (selecting, for example, a manuscript he or she has helped to develop).
