The 5th Annual Story Foundation Prize

Updated: December 15, 2024

We are proud to announce our sixth annual Story Foundation Prize is now open! The winner will receive $1500 and publication in our summer 2025 issue for a single short story. Submissions will close at midnight PST on December 15th.

Submit one short story of up to 10,000 words via our Submission Manager.

Our entry fee is $25. Each entrant receives a one-year subscription (three issues) to Story.

Please double-space your manuscript.

Multiple submissions and simultaneous submissions are welcome, but you must pay a separate fee for each entry and withdraw the piece immediately if accepted elsewhere.

Entries must be previously unpublished. All entries will be considered for publication at our regular rate. Previous winners of the Story Foundation Prize are not eligible. Kristen Arnett will judge.

Winners will be announced in March 2025.
