  10. The judges’ decision is final. No correspondence will be entered into.

A final note on this year’s guidelines for Short Story Prize:

The Overland editorial team have decided to include an additional question for entrants upon submission of their work. While we uphold the integrity of the blind judging process, it often places limitations on judges to properly assess the nature of a submission. Entries which speak directly to the experiences of marginalised or vulnerable communities are often difficult to assess with no knowledge as to whether the author has the relevant experience or cultural authority. It can be an agonising process for a judge to decide whether a piece is appropriate for publication when experience or identities are assumed or guessed. We want to encourage imaginative and provocative submissions without creating an additional burden for our judges, or potentially restricting the selection of sensitive pieces.

As such, this year entrants will be asked to answer the following question:

If your entry takes up the voice or experience of a marginalised or vulnerable identity, do you identify yourself as being a part of that community or experience? For instance, if your piece is written in the voice of an Aboriginal person, are you Aboriginal? etc. 

Your response to this question is not mandatory, and your response will only be visible to internal editors, unless our judges request to know your response after the consideration of a piece.

Awards:-

The winner will receive $5,000 AUD. The winning story will be published in Overland’s first print issue for 2021.

Two runners-up will each receive $750 AUD.

Deadline:- 16-11-2020

Entry fees: $12 for subscribers and $20 for non-subscribers.
