The sine qua non is sponsoring two creative writing competitions, for creative prose (send up to 15 pages) and poetry (send up to 3 poems); for this issue of the magazine, they want works that exemplify traits of New Romanticism – they have detailed guidelines, please read them carefully. They have a submission quota, so may close earlier than the deadline. Submission is via Submittable. They’re also accepting works outside of this theme. For non-prize-winning entries they publish, including theory and craft submissions, they’ll pay $30.
Value: $500 each for poetry and prose winners, and $250 for runners-up
Deadline: 15 December 2025, or until filled
Open for: Unspecified
