GUIDELINES
The Sandeen
Prize in Poetry and the Sullivan Prize in Short Fiction are awarded
to authors who have published at least one volume of short fiction
or one volume of poetry. Please include a photocopy of the copyright
and the title page of your previous volume. Vanity press publications
do not fulfill this requirement.
Though the
Sandeen/Sullivan Prizes are open to any author who has published
at least one book of short stories or one collection of poetry,
we will pay special attention to second volumes. Please include
a vita and/or a biographical statement which includes your publishing
history. We will be glad to see a selection of reviews of the
earlier collection.
Please submit
two copies of your manuscript and inform us if the manuscript
is available on computer disk. Include an SASE for acknowledgment
of receipt of your submission. If you would like your manuscript
returned, please send an SASE. Manuscripts will not otherwise
be returned. A $15 administrative fee should accompany submissions.
Make checks payable to University of Notre Dame. Every contestant
will receive a one-year free subscription to the Notre Dame Review.
The volumes
of the Sandeen/Sullivan Prizes will be published in trade paperback
format with a limited signed hardback edition (primarily for libraries).
The author will be offered a standard contract with the University
of Notre Dame Press. There will be a $1,000 prize, a $500 award
and a $500 advance against royalties from the Notre Dame Press.
The next Richard Sullivan prize submission period will be May
l- Sept. 1, 2011; the next Ernest Sandeen prize period is May
1- Sept. 1, 2012.
Selection of the winners is expected by the end of January following
submission. Both the Sandeen and the Sullivan Prizes are awarded biannually, but judged quadrennially.
We intend
to invite the winners to Notre Dame at the time of publication
for a prize presentation and reading.
