We are extremely pleased to announce the results of our first-ever Corvid Contest. Firstly, allow me to explain our goals with holding the contest. Ravens' Light is a self-funded literary magazine, which primarily means our editor, Blake, foots the cost for almost everything we do. Fortunately, we have the help of motivated associate editors and an extremely talented art director, who draw no income from the magazine either. However, we believe that artists and writers should be paid for their contributions -- this is why we held the Corvid Contest, as a way to reward those writers and artists who helped make our first print issue come alive.
For the print issue, we received plenty of submissions, but only a few entries into our contest. For the Corvid Contest, we asked that you include a raven somewhere within the story, poem, or essay. Our editorial staff formed the judges' panel and selected the works we wished to honor with our first ever Corvid Prize. There were five categories this year, but we decided to award only three in the categories of Fiction, Poetry, and Nonfiction. The winners are as follows:
2014 Corvid Prize in Poetry:
Damien Cowger
For "A Veces"
2014 Corvid Prize in Nonfiction:
Isaac Noland
For "Slime Journey"
Look out for their work, as well as the work of our other writers, featured in our new print issue, to be available on the website in the coming month. Until then, why don't you order a copy of our brand, spanking new issue right here?
