Creative nonfiction may include memoirs, chronicles, personal essays, humorous perspectives, literary journalism—anything the author has witnessed, experienced, learned, or discovered. Creative nonfiction should be written in a nonacademic style. Pieces may be previously published or unpublished, and simultaneous submissions are accepted. Winner receives $1,000, a bronze medallion, and publication in The Lascaux Review. The winner and all finalists will be published in The Lascaux Prize Anthology Vol 7.

Two copies of the anthology will be supplied to every writer appearing in it. Entry fee is $15. Writers may enter more than once. Length should not exceed 10,000 words. All topics are welcome; pieces should be written in a nonacademic style.

Contest participants receive free downloads of the Lascaux Prize anthologies to date. Because editors are dispersed geographically the review is unable to accept submissions via postal mail. If our reply is “waitlisted” by an email filtering service it will not reach you. Please make sure Submittable is on your safe list. Submissions close 30 September 2019.
