After an extremely difficult selection process, our judges have convened, argued, read, reread, brewed coffee, read some more, and finally made their decisions. 

Now, please join me in congratulating Wordclay’s Short Story Contest Winners! 

…in the category of the Wordclay Single Short Story Contest

The Grand Prize goes to Samantha Weiss for the story, “Simulated in Black and White.” 

The Runner-Up Prize goes to Benjamin Solomon for his story, “This Is Called Prowess.” 

For a complete list of Finalists, you can now visit Wordclay’s Contest Connection or jump directly to the listed winners here. 

All the Finalists, along with Weiss and Solomon, will be featured in the upcoming Wordclay short story anthology, titled Best Modern Voices: Words for the New Millennium: A Short Fiction Anthology.

…and in the category of the Wordclay Short Story Colection Contest

The Grand Prize goes to Patricia Coble for her collection titled Legogote: Tales from the Bottom Township. 

The Runner Up Prize goes to Anne Greenawalt for her collection titled Growing Up Girl. 

Both Coble and Greenawalt’s books should be available within the next few weeks, so keep an eye out for them at the Wordclay Bookstore. 

Kudos to the winners and everyone who entered! If you weren’t selected this time around, you should definitely consider entering one of our upcoming contests (guidelines pending on Contest Connection).

This is Justin, blogcasting from Wordclay, signing off.
