> Subject: The Montana and Goedicke Prizes: Call for MFA Submissions
>
> Dear MFA Program Coordinator,
>
> Hello and congrats on the end of another semester.  I wonder if I  
> might ask you to forward this call for submissions to the students  
> in your program.
>
> A few folks around our department can recall when a younger CutBank  
> annually awarded the A.B. Guthrie Award in Short Fiction and the  
> Richard Hugo Memorial Poetry Award.  Our hope is to establish these  
> new contests in the spirit of those awards, and we hope that they  
> result in a similar collection of excellent work.
>
> Thanks again.
>

>
> CutBank is pleased to announce the second annual Montana Prize in  
> Fiction, the Montana Prize in Creative Nonfiction, and the Patricia  
> Goedicke Prize in Poetry.
>
> We are honored to have three talented judges participating in the  
> inaugural year of these contests. The Patricia Goedicke Prize in  
> Poetry will be judged by Noah Eli Gordon. Joy Williams will select  
> the winner of the Montana Prize in Fiction. The winner of the  
> Montana Prize in Creative Nonfiction will be selected by Brian  
> Bouldrey.
>
> Submissions are accepted December 1 through February 29. Winners  
> receive $500 and publication in CutBank 71. All submissions will be  
> considered for publication in CutBank.
>
> The contests' $13 entry fee includes a one-year, two-issue  
> subscription to CutBank, beginning with the prize issue, CutBank 71.
>
> Please send only your best work.  With all three of these awards,
