Table Feast Magazine Literary Competitions 2024

The Table Feast Magazine is running three literary competitions for writers. Ensure you read the submission guidelines 

The Nano & Micro Contest for Women Writers

This contest is requiring a three-dollar (3.00 USD) entry fee and only open to women writers. If you cannot afford the fee, please let us know and we can waive it. Our first year we held a women's writing contest and brought it back. There will be one winner for Poetry, Fiction, and Creative Nonfiction. Each winner will receive $50.00 USD for their winning piece and have their work featured on merch of a local business in the food and beverage industry. We are collaborating with local businesses to put this on. The judges are a mystery group from said industry as well. Works must be original and not assisted with the use of AI and unpublished. Poetry may not exceed more than 14 lines (a sonnet is as long as it may be), and prose pieces must not be more than 200 words. Submit up to six poems max, and two pieces of prose if doing F or CNF. Submit entry as a word doc, in Times New Roman font size 12, and include a cover letter and third person bio.

E-mail these items to Colin at managingeditortf@gmail.com. Contest opens November 12th, 2024 and closes January 1st, 2025. Food and beverage employees are a set of mystery judges this year.

The Fifty & Up Writer Awards

This contest is fee-free and only open to writers aged fifty and up. There will be one winner for Poetry, Fiction, and Creative Nonfiction. Each winner will receive $50.00 USD plus a dollar per year if beyond the fifty years mark. Works must be original and not assisted with the use of AI and unpublished. Poems should not exceed more than two pages, and prose pieces should be between 500 - 2,000 words. Submit up to five poems max, and one piece of prose if doing F or CNF.
