Quick Question: As to all the entrants being notified in late March, does this mean notified that their work has been received, or notified of the winners?
Hi Morgan! We changed the dates a little bit because of AWP but looks like we forgot to change the notification date. We’re on a post-AWP publishing break and should be announcing the winners when we start up again the week of April 15th. Sorry for the confusion there.
No worries! Thanks so much for letting me know.
