Check out the 2011 Press 53 Open Awards and, more importantly, check out the incredible lineup of judges: Chris Offut judging the short story, Josh Weil judging the novella, Sherrie Flick judging flash fiction, Carolyn Kreiter-Foronda (former poet laureate of Virginia) judging poetry, Stefanie Freele judging the short short story, and Bill Roorbach judging creative nonfiction. That’s star-studded.
