The deadline to submit a short story for our contest has passed.

We will be posting those stories that are finalists in mid-March. The first-, second-, and third-place winners will be announced at the festival on May 19 and will be awarded $100, $50 and $25 gift certificates, respectively, courtesy of the Johns Hopkins Montgomery County Campus.

If you’re interested in being notified when the 2013 short story contest for high school students launches in the fall, please email us.

More information about this year’s contest is available here.
