Rosebud Contests for Writers
Rosebud sponsors three biennial writing contests, each with a $1,000 award to the winner, plus occasional extra competitions. Entries are considered independently of Rosebud submissions (though winners and some runners-up will be published in the magazine) and each requires a $10 entry fee.
