PRIZE IS PUBLICATION First, second and third place winners in the three literary categories and the top four art entries (cover and one picture per category) will be published in our fourth annual anthology, Georgia Writers’ ...On My Mind, Volume IV. Judges’ decisions are final. Contest/Anthology may be canceled if insufficient entries are received. Winners will be expected to come to the May 18, 2002 signing party at the Spring Festival, excepting disabled members to whom this would prove a deterrant from entering.

The anthology will be a limited edition (100), numbered, signed, registered, collector’s paperback and will contain the winning written works and art submissions. Unreserved copies will be available on a first come, first-served basis. You may reserve your copy(ies) now. Send $7 plus $2 S&H for each copy to: Georgia Writers’ ...On My Mind, 1266 West Paces Ferry Road, #217; Atlanta, GA 30327-2306. All proceeds, after printing and production costs, will go to GW’s Anthology Fund. The anthology will be available for pick-up/mail out at the Spring Festival on May 18, 2002 at the Smyrna Community Center.
