Welcome! Another year; another contest; another set of (extra)ordinary results.
Before we get into things, I want to give a ginormous gallon of gratitude to our amazing judges: Andrea Cavedo, Ashlee Lhamon, and Jenifer Reynolds. I've been absolutely honored to have them as judges—and friends—this year.
And of course, this wouldn't be possible without all the wonderful writers who took a chance on our second contest and signed up to participate. While we only take a small cut of the entry fees, it's essentially one of the few ways we raise money to help publish the wonderful stories, poems, columns, and cartoons throughout the year.
Congratulations to all who made the longlist, our five honorable mentions, and of course, our three winners who will be published in November's issue.
Without further ado...
