speakeasy prize update

BREAKING NEWS: SPEAKEASY PRIZE WINNERS TO BE PUBLISHED IN GEORGIA REVIEW As we announced previously, the summer 2006 issue of Speakeasy will be the last print issue. Because of this, we have found a new publication venue for The Loft's Fourth Annual Speakeasy Prize in Poetry and Prose. We are thrilled to announce that this year's Speakeasy Prize winners will be published in the distinguished literary quarterly Georgia Review.
POSTMARK DEADLINE EXTENDED TO FRIDAY, MAY 5, 2006 Because these details are integral to the prize and were finalized so near the deadline, we have extended the deadline just a few days so that writers have the opportunity to submit after knowing the complete prize details.
FURTHER DETAILS The entry fee is $10 for Loft members, $20 for individuals who are not members of the Loft. The $20 entry fee will include a subscription to Georgia Review in lieu of a subscription to Speakeasy.
The judges (Jane Hamilton in prose and Jane Hirshfield in poetry), the monetary reward, the mailing address, and all other manuscript guidelines remain unchanged. A pdf of the revised contest information is available for download at www.speakeasymagazine.org <http://www.speakeasymagazine.org>.
If you have already submitted, you will receive an additional e-mail from us; we apologize for the multiple contacts, but we want to ensure that you are kept up to date.
