Here’s the schedule by which we’ll be publishing/announcing the winners:
10/26: Our winner for art
10/27: Our two honorable mentions for fiction
10/28: Second runner-up winners, one for fiction and one for poetry
10/29: First runner-up winners, one for fiction and one for poetry
10/31: Winners, one for fiction and one for poetry
Thanks for all the great contest submissions! Our 2022 Halloween contest is now closed.
We will post information here soon about how and when we will reveal the winners!
Our reading period is currently OPEN for general submissions of fiction, poetry, and nonfiction for our Spring 2023 issue, but please realize that you likely won’t get a response until the beginning of 2023 unless it’s for our Halloween contest.
We will release our 2023 theme soon! You’re going to love it!
We are pleased to announce that the Hedge Apple Magazine will be a participating magazine at Conversations and Connections on October 29th, 2022. Please join us at this fun, useful, friendly conference, either in-person in Pittsburgh or via the online track. There’s always a great atmosphere, and you’ll leave with lots of ideas and new ways of approaching your work.
We’ll see you at the speed dating table!
