And that's a wrap! The 2022 Ars Poetica Prize is officially CLOSED! Our Open-Themed Summer issue is now CLOSED! Upstairs, downstairs, all the windows are SHUT & the A/C is blowing! We will respond to all pending submissions & contest entries by early August. Stay cool, Riddlers!

[Riddled with Arrows @RiddledwArrows]

Gah! We're $10 shy of what we raised for the 1st Ars Poetica Prize in 2018. That's just four poems!
So... we're gonna prop the window open a little while longer. Can we entice a few more poems to fly in? Help us break our record ~ submit here:

[Riddled with Arrows @RiddledwArrows]

When it comes to prose though we are still WIDE OPEN for that last-minute bullseye for our Open-Themed Summer Issue. Surprise us (but FFS make sure it's *about* writing? Kay?) Deadline July 19th! https://t.co/cEa3rHtJxG

[Riddled with Arrows @RiddledwArrows]

2 ways to submit, 2 days to go!!
Dear procrastinators: your chances of placing in the ARS POETICA contest are equal to or maybe better than your chances of placing a poem with us through General Submissions at this point. Just sayin'. ;) https://t.co/vABQFBWNJN
