2023-2024 Academic Year Contests

Late-night competition craving? You’ve come to the right place.
PTM runs a plethora of contests each academic year for any and every genre, including the Illuminated Manuscript Contest, which pairs writers with visual artists to create an illustrated flash fiction piece in the genre of their choice. The winner and runner-up of each contest are published online, and the winner is published in our print magazine.

To submit your work for a contest: Make a copy of our Master Submissions form, title your copy with the name of the contest and your work’s title, fill out the form, and send the form and your fiction or visual art to pageturnermag@emerson.edu.

What we’re looking for:

We want contest submissions of between 500 and 1,500 words of potent prose that grabs the reader by the lapels, slingshots them through crackling tension, and lands them, disheveled, excited, and breathless, at a riveting end.

Genre Contest Schedule:

During the time frames listed below, we’ll accept flash fiction pieces (500-1,500 words) from Emerson students, staff, and alumni that are based on the corresponding themes.

***Stay tuned for our next contest schedules!***
