Spring 2025 Prose Contest: Endings

Update (2/22): Due to popular demand, we have decided to extend the deadline for our 2025 prose contest to March 1, 2025

Euphony is hosting our annual spring prose contest, and the theme this year is “endings”We want your apocalypses, your breakups, your graduations, your death scenes. Interpret the prompt however you want! Submit to euphonyjournal@gmail.com with the subject “PROSE CONTEST: ENDINGS” by March 1. Find details below!


Theme: Endings

What does the theme mean?: You can interpret our theme in whatever way you want, as long as your submission engages with endings in some capacity. These can be about breakups, doomsday scenarios, getting fired—however you want to write it, we want to see it!

Prize: $20 and publication in our Spring 2025 print issue

Deadline: February 22nd, 2025 March 1, 2025

Genre: Prose. We would love to see your poems through our regular submissions, but they will not be considered for the prose contest.

Format: Up to 12 pages (Double spaced, 12 pt. font, Times New Roman)

Attach your submission in a file compatible with Microsoft Word or a basic text editor—not in the body of the email—so the formatting of your work is preserved. .doc files are strongly, though not exclusively, preferred to .docx or PDFs.

How to submit: email euphonyjournal@gmail.com with the subject PROSE CONTEST: ENDINGS
