Owing to BhB’s having received a relatively small number of eligible submissions to the Stonewall chapbook competition during the current round, the deadline to submit has been extended to May 15, 2012. Judging will take place June-August 2012, with the winner for 2012-13 to be announced in the early fall. In order to speed manuscripts on their rounds of preliminary judges, we urge you to submit your work BOTH ON PAPER AND ELECTRONICALLY. This applies to those mss. already submitted as well as to new submissions. (New submitters should consult the guidelines below.)
