Reader nominations for 2010 Million Writers Award

The 2010 Million Writers Award is now open for nominations. This page is for READERS to nominate one short story published in an online magazine during 2009. Editor nominations are here.

Nominations will be accepted through February 28, 2010. As always, there is no fee to nominate a story or to take part in the award process. If a story is already nominated below, there is no need to nominate that story multiple times. Attempts to "stuff" multiple nominations of the same story by one reader or a group of readers will be deleted.

To nominate a story, please first read the rules, then use the following format to place information in the comment box at the bottom of this page. You will enter your nomination into the comment box at the bottom of this page.

Apex Magazine
http://www.apexbookcompany.com/apex-online
Story: "Sinner, Baker, Fabulist, Priest; Red Mask, Black Mask, Gentleman, Beast" by Eugie Foster
Story URL: http://www.apexbookcompany.com/apex-online/...gentleman-beast-by-eugie-foster

Please note that the above story--while an amazing piece of fiction--is not eligible for the Million Writers Award since it was first published in a print magazine.

Failure to use the above format when making a nomination can result in nominations not being considered. Be sure to provide your name and a valid e-mail address or your nomination will not be considered.

If you like what we're doing with the Million Writers Award, please consider making a donation to increase the amount of prize money we can offer.
