A total of 35 fiction works were submitted in the competition.
The winners were chosen by Elizabeth Stuckey-French, writer-in-residence at ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ and a faculty member in the graduate MA/PHD program in creative writing at Florida State Univeristy. Her stories have appeared in The Atlantic, Gettysburg Review and Southern Review. Her new collection of short stories, “The First Paper Girl in Red Oak, Iowa,” was published this year by Doubleday.

The contest is open to all ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ students, with a poetry competition held in the fall and a fiction competition held in the spring. Funding is provided by ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ alumnus William Manness ’38, Jacksonville, Fla., in honor of his friend, Frederick Hartmann, retired editor of the Florida Times-Union.
