Bamboo Ridge has been giving voice to Hawaii writers and artists for a little over 30 years now. This remarkable literary arts journal and independent publisher is approaching its 100th issue and have two different calls for submissions.
The Great Bamboo Ridge Short-Short Story Contest:
- The piece can be no more than 100 words long.
- The piece must have a title, and the title does NOT count against the 100 words.
- The piece must be submitted on the Bamboo Shoots page of the BR website between July 1, 2010 and midnight December 31, 2010, GMT.
- You can submit one piece a month until December 31, 2010.
As part of the 100th issue the goal is to feature 100 different writers. This will be a combination of the Short-Short Stories or:
- 100 lines maximum of poetry or prose. (Approximately 3 typed pages, double-spaced, 1″ margins, 12 pt Times Roman font. Poetry may be single spaced and more than one poem may be submitted as long as the total number of lines is 100 or less.)
- Submissions must be postmarked by Dec. 31, 2010.
See here for more information and submission guidelines on entering either your 100-words, or your 100-lines for consideration.
