- Your email subject line must read CATEGORY_LASTNAME (for example: POETRY_GONZALEZ) If submitting in more than one category, send separate emails. An error in submission form may mean that your entry will not be considered, so please double-check.
- Include your name, address, phone number, email address, and category in the body of your email.
- The entry itself must be attached as a single PDF, regardless of genre.
