The 2012 Million Writers Award is now open for nominations. This page is for READERS to nominate one short story published in an online magazine during 2011. Editor nominations are here.
Nominations will be accepted through April 9, 2012. 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.
Asimov's Science Fiction
http://www.asimovs.com
Story: "Stone Wall Truth" by Caroline M. Yoachim
Story URL: http://carolineyoachim.com/Stories/StoneWallTruth.html
(Note: the above story—while a top-notch piece of short fiction—is not eligible for the Million Writers Award because it was first published in Asimov's, a print magazine.)
Failure to use the above format when making a nomination can result in nominations not being considered.
Please enter your nomination into the comment box at the bottom of this page. To post nominations people will need to log into this site using either Facebook, Twitter, Typepad, or another social media account. If anyone experiences problems please contact Jason Sanford.
Finally, 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.
