Nimrod extends deep appreciation to all who submitted. There were 609 poetry manuscripts and 427 short stories submitted to the 2012 competition. Selecting poetry finalists and fiction finalists from these was a task that dominated the lives of 38 Nimrod editors all spring. They approached their mission with dedication and discretion, reading and rereading the final group, comparing notes, and speaking for favorites. The finalists’ manuscripts, without cover letters or names, were sent to the judges for 2012, Philip Levine, poetry, and Gish Jen, fiction. They chose the winners and honorable mentions from the finalist group. Philip Levine is the current U.S. Poetry Laureate and author of over 20 collections of poetry, most recently News of the World. Gish Jen is the author of five novels and short story collections, most recently the novel World and Town.
The 35th Nimrod Literary Awards competition begins January 1, 2013; the postmark deadline is April 30, 2013. We welcome your submissions, knowing that each year brings new discoveries, often from those who have submitted to the competition before. (All entrants not previously contacted byNimrod about their work may consider their work released at this time.)
