Annual Contests

Since 2014, Permafrost Magazine has held an Annual Book Prize contest for the best  manuscript (genre alternating each year). The winner of the contest receives $1000.00 and publication through the University of Alaska Press. Each year, the book prize genre alternates through poetry, fiction, and nonfiction. Here are the winners from previous years:

2014 (Poetry) – Adam Tavel, Plash and Levitation

2015 (Fiction) – Becky Hagenston, Scavengers: Stories

2016 (Nonfiction) – Anand Prahlad, The Secret of a Black Aspie

2017 (Poetry) -TBD!

 

 

Also, we hold a hybrid contest each year, The New Alchemy Contest, seeking work that pushes boundaries in both form and content. The winner of that contest receives $500.00, publication in the summer web issue, and a featured interview on the website. Finalists receive publication in the summer web issue.

Check out our rapidly approaching contests for 2017! Fame and fortune, folks.
