All Stories

Each year, as a memorial to professors M.E. Chapin, Wilma Tague, and Juanita Jones, the English Department awards three sets of prizes, in fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction. Additionally, this year we will continue to offer the D’Souza Prize for Prose, endowed by alumnus and acclaimed author Tony D’Souza.

All students are invited to submit four poems, a single short story, or a work of creative nonfiction; students may submit in more than one genre, but must fill out a separate submission form for each entry. All prose entries will be considered for the D’Souza Prize and the Chapin-Tague Juanita Jones Prize in the appropriate genre. Each prize carries a monetary award.

Application forms are available outside the office of visiting writer-in-residence Lewis Freedman, LH 214.

Application forms, along with four poems or a single short story or work of creative non-fiction, should be delivered to the Lentz 214 by Tuesday, April 9. Late submissions will not be considered.

No name should appear anywhere on the manuscript. Your name and the title(s) of your work(s) should be listed on the form(s) and turned in with the manuscript.

Please free to contact Professor Lewis Freedman at lfreedman@carthage.edu with any questions.
