Engman Prize, Submissions Due January 27
The John Engman Writing Prize, a literary competition sponsored by Murphy Square and the Augsburg English Department, is awarded each year to Augburg's most promising writers. This year's submission deadline is Friday, January 27th.
Judges of the competition will select up to three winners in each of the categories of fiction, poetry, creative non-fiction, and screenwriting which is being added as a category this year.
To enter writers must submit the following:
Short Fiction – A complete short story of not more than 15 pages
Creative Non-fiction – One complete piece not longer than 15 pages
Poetry – At least three poems. Poetry entries with fewer than three poems will not be accepted
Screenwriting – Up to 30 pages (either a complete short script or a portion of a longer script, such as the first act of a full-length screenplay)
All writers must be enrolled at Augsburg College and may enter once in each of the four categories, but they may only win a prize in one category. Entries may be submitted electronically or by hand.
Paper entries must include five copies of each work submitted and be accompanied by a cover letter, listing the name of the writer and the titles of the work submitted. Names of writers must not be listed on the works submitted. Paper application cover letters and supporting manuscripts must be delivered to the Humanities/Social Science Department Office, Memorial Hall, 111 by 3p.m. on Friday, January 27.

The body of the email should include the writer's full name and email address and the titles of all pieces submitted.
The prize was named in honor of poet and Augsburg alumnus John Engman who died in 1996. Judges for the contest are English Department faculty members. The judges reserve the right to withhold awards if entries in specific categories are not of winning quality; they may also increase the number of awards in a category that has attracted entries of obvious merit. Winners will be notified in February.
