The deadline for the Ralph Williams Speculative Fiction Contest has been extended to September 10, 2008, or until a total of 300 entries are received, whichever occurs first. If 300 entries are received by the administrators, an announcement will be placed on this site that submissions are closed. However, there will be a 72 hour window for additional entries. Provided that new submissions are postmarked within 72 hours after the announcement is placed on the site, they will be accepted and eligible for the prizes and critiques. Therefore, please check the website frequently as you prepare your entry to ensure that you are within the time limits.
