The seventh annual Million Writers Award is now open. As we did last year, the reader and editorial nomination portion of the award, along with general updates, will be run through the website of Jason Sanford, founding editor of storySouth.

For access to the rules, general information, and to nominate a story for the award, please go here.

Like last year, we are accepting donation to fund the award's cash prizes. Last year there were three prizes: $500 for the overall winner, $200 for the runner-up, and $100 for the honorable mention/third place. The majority of this prize money was raised through donations from writers, editors and readers. We hope we can reach these amounts again. Since these donations do not go through Spring Garden Press (storySouth's publisher), donations are not tax deductible. But please note that your entire donated amount will be used for prize money, minus the small fee PayPal deducts for transmitting the money.

To donate, please go here.
