The A3 Review's Monthly Contest 'Odd Couples' #writing #Contest #seanocarolan.com




The A3 Review's themed monthly contest is brought to you by the folks who make Writing Maps. We believe in words and images, and love a combination of the two. We're looking for prose, poetry, graphic stories, photography, paintings, drawings, and other visual and word-based creations and various combinations of the above.

The two winning entries each month are published in The A3 Review, a fold-out literary and art magazine that comes out every six months. The current issue is Issue 4, which came out in March 2016.

Issue 5: Guest edited by KM Elkes. The two winning entries from each month, March till August, will make up the list of contributors to Issue 5. From this list, three overall winning entries will be chosen in August 2016. These three ultimate winners will receive cash prizes: 1st = £150, 2nd = £75, 3rd = £50 (approx $220, $110, $75).

Writing: No more than 150 words.

Art: Needs to fit well into an A6 panel. That's about 4 x 6 inches or 10 x 15cm. Send as low-res in the first instance. If your work is accepted, we'll ask for a hi-res image.


There is a small fee of $5 (approx £3) per entry to help us cover admin and printing costs and to make sure we can keep offering cash prizes.
