The entry fee is $10 for each story postmarked by May 1, 2007, and $15 for each story postmarked between May 1 and May 15. Entries postmarked after May 15 will not be accepted.

Prizes include $1,000 cash to the first-place winner, $500 apiece to the second-and third-place winners, and honorable mentions to other promising writers.

All manuscripts and fees should be sent to...
