Nimrod extends deep appreciation to all who submitted. Selecting the poetry and fiction finalists was a task that dominated the lives of Nimrod’s editors all spring. They approached their mission with dedication and discretion, reading and rereading the final group, comparing notes, and speaking for favorites. The finalists’ manuscripts, without cover letters or names, were sent to the judges for 2014. W. S. Di Piero, the author ofTombo, served as poetry judge, and Chris Abani, author of Graceland, served as fiction judge. They chose the winners and honorable mentions from the finalist groups.
The 37th Nimrod Literary Awards competition begins January 1, 2015; the postmark deadline is April 30, 2015. We welcome your submissions, knowing that each year brings new discoveries, often from those who have submitted to the competition before.
All entrants not previously contacted by Nimrod about their work may consider their work released at this time.
