Poetry, short stories, and other prose accepted. Several pieces will be read and analyzed on the air, with a link in the transcript/audio description to your prose page or other social media (if desired). Any participant selected as a winner will be asked to write a short description of extended metaphors, symbolism throughout the piece, and the inspiration that led to it. Work published elsewhere is accepted and encouraged, as long as it isn't plagiarized. To be totally honest with you, I can't really check. Who's going to stop you? Podcast cops? I also can't check if you're between 11-19, but I don't know what kind of weirdo is going around pretending to be child just to get on a podcast that 12 people are going to listen to. I just thought I should include that because it's in the project specifications that I wrote. There is no monetary reward, but there is some fame-- not much fame, but a little! The real reward is getting to talk about your writing as much as you want and have someone actually care enough to analyze it (that's me!). There will be about 16 winners total, but I'll likely only get a couple submissions through this competition and that's fine. And if they are all by the same author, it's not my problem, babes. Once again, it's the problem of non-existent podcast cops.

All winners will be properly cited in the final project, according to each author. Any participant selected as a winner will be asked to write a short description of extended metaphors, symbolism throughout the piece, and the inspiration that led to it. In terms of rules, write like you have to show it to an English teacher, but like, a cool English teacher that you want to impress, you know?
