New opportunities added this week include two national prizes for sculpture, along with a development prize for longform writing, open to both novels and narrative non-fiction.
Red flags can include mystery judges, poor or little promotion of past winners, no shortlists or finalists, and everything-including-the-kitchen-sink copyright agreements. There are always new prizes popping up, and while most are run by people who understand and respect creatives and want to celebrate brilliant work, it always pays to do a little homework.
