Devil’s Lake, the graduate literary journal published by the MFA candidates at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is accepting online entries for their annual Driftless Prize in Fiction and Poetry.

Winners will receive $1,000 and publication in the Spring 2017 issue. The entry fee $15 and all entries are considered for publication. The deadline to submit is October 31st. Submissions are currently low, so students chances at winning are high!

Entries should include two poems totaling five pages or fewer (for poetry) or stories that are no longer than 4,500 words (prose)> One entry is defined as one short story or two poems; you may submit up to two entries, but you must submit them separately and pay an entry fee for both. All work submitted must be previously unpublished. Simultaneous submissions are permitted as long  Devil’s Lake is notified of acceptance elsewhere. Please do not include your name or any identifying information on the manuscript; all submissions are read blind.

The 2016 judges will be Eduardo C. Corral (poetry) and Kristin Valdez Quade (fiction).
