CELJ AWARDS COMPETITION

A brief list of the annual CELJ awards can be found below. Only current members may enter the competitions. If your membership is not current, please join or renew by contacting Nicholas Birns, Secretary-Treasurer, at birnsn@newschool.edu. The contest materials and a cover letter must be submitted only to Vice President Alan Rauch at the address below.

All contest materials must be received in one clearly marked package (noting "CELJ Awards Competition") no later than 10 September 2010.

No submission materials will be returned. E-submissions are not allowed except to offer an addendum; for example, an electronic journal might reasonably wish to email a link permitting access to its website. But each journal submitting materials, must supply a hard-copy document containing all necessary particulars, and informing us that electronic sources are also being submitted by e-mail, in time for the deadline.

In your cover letter, indicate the award category you wish to enter. Belletristic journals will need to check their submission category carefully and provide contact information, including e-mail address; electronic journals must provide access information as described above.

Journals may compete in only one category. Please send an e-mail indicating that your package is on its way; confirmation of receipt will be sent only by e-mail. To insure prompt delivery, send submissions by courier or first-class mail—but not by fourth-class surface mail—to the address below.

PLEASE NOTE: The address must conspicuously indicate "2010 CELJ Awards Competition."
