Hal Prize Deadline is Monday, May 1

There are just a few days left for poets, photographers and writers to submit to this year’s Hal Prize contest.

The contest offers publication in the Peninsula Pulse’s annual Literary Issue, reaching a readership of 18,000. Cash awards of up to $150, a week stay at Write On, Door County (a literary retreat located in the heart of the Door Peninsula), a class at Peninsula School of Art (a nationally recognized year-round destination for artists and art appreciators), and other prizes will be awarded.

This year’s judges are author and English professor David Haynes, historian and Wisconsin Life Executive Producer Erika Janik, nationally renowned photographer Kevin J. Miyazaki, and the poetry editors of Milwaukee literary journal cream city review (Alessandra Simmons, Soham Patel and Tobias Wray).

The Hal Prize is presented in collaboration with Write On, Door County, a nonprofit organization promoting writing and reading to year-round and seasonal residents in the county.
