PUBLICATION
All entries are considered for publication. The first place winners will be published in the Spring issue following announcement. Second and third place winners will be given high-priority consideration for publication, but because of space, cannot be guaranteed. Due to the high volume of submissions, any first-place prize winners are ineligible for contest participation for the three years following their win.
