Hunter College English Department

There are presently no open calls for submissions.

****** OUR DEADLINE HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO 3/26/18 ******

Every year the English department holds prizes and awards to reward outstanding work by graduates and undergraduates alike. There's over $30,000 up for grabs! This is the page where you can submit your work. 

The deadline for all entries is March 20th 2018. 

Some general rules: 
1. Students may enter as many of these competitions as they wish, and they may
submit more than one entry in a single competition. 
2. The same work, in whole or in part, may not be submitted in more than one
competition. 
3. If the work has been published, the name and the date of the publication must
be included on the application form.
4. If the work has previously won a prize, award, or fellowship outside of Hunter or at Hunter, the name and date of that prize should be included on the application form.
5. Prose should be doubled spaced. Poetry can be formatted however the poet intends. Margins should be an inch. Use 12 pt. font.   
6. Except in the cases of the Cone and Williams Fellowships, each entry must be submitted without a name on any page, unless it is used in the entry text.  
7. In the event of a tie, the committee will divide the prize money among the winners. 

Important note: students who owe money to the college will have money deducted from their prizes and awards total before the checks are issued in June. You must have completed a FAFSA for the current academic school year. Hunter’s code for fafsa.ed.gov is 002689.  

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the English department. We look forward to reading your entries!
