>Press 53, that dynamic, young small press, has announced the winners and finalists for its 2008 Open Awards, a contest with a broad range of categories, from flash fiction to novella, creative non-fiction to poetry. Check out the list: Winners and finalists. I only entered in one category and snagged a “finalist” for my flash fiction story. Congratulations to the winners and the other finalists!
