"We expect a great turnout for this contest," Marshall said. "For the Costello Poetry Awards last year, there were 35 entries, so we're expecting more this year."
Marshall also spoke positively of the contest's expansion into new literary genres, saying it is intended "to celebrate writing in different genres."
"We have great prose writers who weren't getting any distinction," Marshall said.
According to the flier for the Gurian Awards, submissions are limited to 3,500 words and must be submitted with "two typed, double-spaced copies of your entry with a title and pseudonym in a header that appears on every page; attach a sealed envelope that contains your actual name and your pseudonym."
Entries are to be given to the English department located in Robinson House.
Each submitter is restricted to one submission per genre, and only Gonzaga students are eligible. All entries will also be considered for publication in "Reflection" and "Charter," Gonzaga's literary/artistic and academic publications, respectively.
The deadline for submission is 3 p.m. on Feb. 29. Contact Dr. Marshall (marshall@gonzaga.edu) or the English department (x6672) with any further questions.
