Spokane has completed the snowiest November in recorded weather history. My neighbor and I were out shoveling our driveways at 9 p.m. las night just to get the month over with.
Even though few entries for the Cathlamet Prize are expected to come on foot, we have extended the entry period through the end of December.
We did not ask our webfellow to change the written rules on the Ravenna web page, but the extension is indeed in place, enacted after a request to allow for folks whose chapbook contents are more than 1/3 individually published. Originally, we had wanted 2/3 unpublished–but why penalize success?
So go ahead, while there is still time—take a long look at my beloved Grandmother Rantala in the poster and put together work that will please her. She deserves your best.
Please postmark or email your entry by December 31, 2010. Announcement of the winners will, accordingly, be delayed until March, with prizes awarded in April. We will announce the winners right here (well, further up the page, as blogs go.)
