Fugue • 2022 Contests
Fugue is excited to announce our 2022 Annual Writing Contests! This year’s judges are Jenny Boully (prose) and Kimberly Grey (poetry).
Contest winners in both categories will receive $1,000 prizes and publication in our 2023 print issue. Submissions fees are $15 and multiple submissions are allowed. Our prose category is open to both nonfiction and fiction submissions, which will be judged together, and welcomes hybrid work.
